How Can Extra Large Nipples Be Corrected?

There is a nipple reduction procedure to make nipples both smaller and more symmetrical. It is a fairly simple procedure, in experienced hands, which is done under local anesthesia in the office in about 20 minutes. I use the a telescoping technique, whereby the skin is removed at the base and the core is left intact and then the nipple is telescoped down and the skin edges are stitched back together. This elegant technique preserves the nipple sensation an the milk ducts in the major of cases.As far as reducing the areola, the pigmented skin around surrounding the nipple, this can also be reduced.  This requires having a scar around the areola as the excess pigmented skin is removed and the skin is brought together with a permanent suture to cinch it down to a smaller size.   Hope this helps.

Nipple reduction is an  excellent procedure for the patient suffering from prominent  nipples. This procedure can reduce the height and width of the nipple, usually preserving sensation. It can be done under local anesthesia or in combination with other procedures (under general anesthesia).

I like to use the “sleeve” technique to reduce the height of the nipple. This procedure leaves the core of the nipple intact preserving nerves and lactiferous ducts.  The  suture line  generally heals  very nicely in this area. The width of the nipple can be reduced by removing a triangular segment from the tip area.

I hope this helps.

NIpple reduction is a common operation and can be done as a solo procedure in the office with just local anesthesia, or can be part of another breast enhancement.

Both the diameter and length (projection) can be reduced, to fit the aesthetics of your breast. The surgery can interfere with breast feeding, so is often delayed until after having children. Because other procedures like, breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction, are also more common after having children, the nipple reduction may be performed while under anesthesia for these other procedures.
