Is plastic surgery practical to fix a bifurcated nipple?

helisa0829Mar 27, 2015
I have one bifurcated nipple. It is just a small addition onto the regular nipple, but it makes me extremely self conscious, especially since there is little to no information about it on the internet. Would it be possible/practical to get it removed somehow?

Unfortunately, you'll need excision of the gland to flatten your nipples and areolas. It is a procedure, but not a very big surgery at all with minimal down time. You should look into it. See web reference for just such a case. Thanks for sharing.

I think you have mild gynecomastia. it is the breast enlargement which is mostly responsible for pushing out the areola. Surgery for gynecomastia should do the trick.

Areolar color is guided by genetics and hormones. The combination of these two factors will influence the color of the areola. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
