Ever since my surgery, my nipples have been in pain. At first I thought it was temporary. I have to wear lined bras to hide how erect they are. Two years after the surgery, I saw my doctor and asked if he would remove some tissue behind the areola so the nipples could relax. He refused saying “but that would change the way they look. Why mess up a good thing?” Now, they still hurt as much as they did then. I think they’ve gotten bigger from constant irritation.

Answer: There are some things that might help After two years you have certainly given it enough time… As has been stated, one thing is a nipple reduction to decrease the height or projection that the nipple sticks out. That can be done under local anesthetic in the office and that may help. Another option is to try to reduce the nerve endings going to the nipple and a small incision can be made at the edge of the Areola and an instrument passed under the nipple to try to sever some of those nerve endings. But that will be a real trial and error process. It’s possible you could lose more sensation then you wanted as well.
