How to Reduce the Length of my Nipple (Not Areola)? (photo)
I've been self-conscious about the length of my nipples for years. I recently visited a cosmetic surgeon who made the procedure sound very trivial: simply cutting off however much I wanted removed and putting band-aids over them. Because it sounds fairly easy yet I would be charged around $900, I'm considering doing it myself. Does anyone have any recommendations of whether or not this is a feasible idea (assuming I can manage the pain)? If so, what tools/ drugs would you recommend I use?

Consult an ASPS board-certified plastic surgeon who will discuss the options of amputation technique versus my choice, which would be a retraction method using a circumferential incision at the base of the nipple.

Do not do this yourself! That would be a big mistake! Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) to discuss your surgery.
