Hello, I am interested in shortening the nipple because it is too long and it does not look aesthetically. However, I am concerned that if it is not a risky procedure. I am 40 years old, I am after giving birth and I will probably not have children anymore. I'm just afraid if then in the breast can not arise e.g. inflammation because of surgery, or another health complication. I also suffer from autoimmune diseases. Is this procedure safe for me? Thank you in advance for your answer.

Based on your pre and post surgery photos, loss of nipple projection is due to skin envelope stretching because of large implants. As skin envelope expends and softens in time, nipples may gain some of their preoperative projection and size. No surgery for nipple adjustment should be done at...
Your nipples are actually normal. Nipples, like breasts, come in all sizes and shapes. If you wish to have your trimmed vertically or horizontally, it can be done in a simple office procedure under local anesthesia. However, you do risk losing some sensation and ability to breast feed.
