Best Method to Reduce Male Nipple Protrusion?

I am a young male in very good shape. My nipples are too pointy especially when cold. I would like to plan a surgery but am curious what is the best way to handle it and if it is a relatively simple procedure. Potential scars and abnormal shape are a major concern.

A: Nipple protrusion reduction for healthy/athletic male

Reducing male nipple protrusion is a very easy in office procedure that can be done under local anesthesia. A small wedge of the nipple tissue is excised inferiorly and the superior portion is rotated downward. This leaves an imperceptible scar at the inferior base of the nipple. The procedure itself does not diminish the size of the areola which also can sometimes be an issue in males.

Is There a Treatment for Inverted Nipples?

What is the procedure was to correct inverted nipples? Is it a difficult or painful procedure? It doesn't really bother me but it does look weird and I'm a little self conscious about it.

A: Treatment for inverted nipples

Inverted nipples is not an uncommon problem. It can be unilateral or bilateral. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia as an out patient. You should be aware that you may loss a little sensation of the nipple. This is usually temporarily. In most cases you will NOT be able to breast feed with that breast. This is usual a permanent condition so have your children first before considering surgery.
