Can I remove a nipple the same way as a skin tag? With Thread?

Question

I am a 34 year old healthy male. I am just talking about the nipple, nothing surrounding it. Thanks Much!

Thank you for sharing your question.  I would strongly advise you not to try this technique as it is painful, results in inferior results, and increases your risks of complications.  Nipple reduction surgery can be performed safely and quickly in a surgeon's office.  See an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation.

not advisable! the nipple as you know has many nerves making it very sensitive. choking it with a string will cause constant prolonged pain. best is to see your plastic surgeon to discuss the reason for removing it and options. patients requesting this procedure my practice are looking for a nipple reduction surgery of which there are many techniques.
