How Can Extra Large Nipples Be Corrected? I have large (D cup) breasts that I think look great, but my nipples are larger than average. What is the procedure that can correct this condition?

A: Nipple reduction surgery

Nipple reduction surgery is a relatively simple operation that can be done with local anesthesia. The nipple diameter or projection can both be modified. The scar is generally confined to the nipple and heals well. There is a risk of loss of nipple sensation with any of these procedures.

Surgery to Remove Extra Nipples? I have two extra nipples. I have had them since I was born and I hate them. I can wear swimsuits with nice tops because they show they are right below my original ones.
I'm now 17 and want to remove them. Are there home remedies? I heard wart remover works? And if not, I have insurance. Will it cover it and will it hurt? Thanks so much.

A: Removal of accessory nippples

Don't feel alone. Accessory nipples are very common both in males and females. In fact, very frequently I will point out an accessory nipple in a patient who though it was just a mole. They arise in the "milk line" which runs from the armpit to the groin. I have most commonly seen them just below the breast. There are no home remedies. Insurance generally will pay for their removal which is usually an uncomplicated procedure.

Decrease the Size of Areola Without Mastopexy? I am 21 years old, 135lbs, no pregnancies. I am very unhappy with the look and shape of my areolas. I want a smaller more youthful look, but would rather wait to get a mastopexy later, after pregnancy. Am I a good candidate for a nipple surgery procedure?

A: Areolar reduction surgery

As has been clearly stated, it is possible to have an areolar reduction without a mastopexy. This is actually quite similar to a circumareolar mastopexy in technique and eventual scarring. The outer diameter matches the border of your areola, the inner circle is centered around your nipple measuring a smaller diameter (around 40 mm).

There are two trade-off's with this procedure

The scar. This is generally of good quality but can look a little like a bulls-eye around your nipple.
There is a little flattening of the central breast. Generally this improves significantly but may be a subtle permanent change.
