Im 21 years old with 34b breasts. but my nipples are very big and I find it embarrassing. I don't feel comfortable naked and have to wear padded bras all the time so they don't show through my clothes. also sometimes my areolas can slip out of my bra which is very embarrassing and has happened at work before. Is there any surgery I could undergo?
Answer: Ima 21 Year Old Woman with Embarrasingly Large Nipples? 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, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: Nipple and Areola reduction You can consider surgical nipple and areola reduction. The procedure can be performed to reduce the size of your nipples to make them less prominent, and to reduce your areolae so they are better covered up by your bras.

Answer: Areola reduction This is a very common concern, that plastic surgeons frequently address. The solution is a straightforward procedure that can be performed in office under local anesthesia or in the operating room. The periphery of the areola is trimmed, and the circumference is reduces with a buried permanent suture. Some people also elect to have a breast enhancement or lift at the same time. You are a good prospect for a great outcome. Best of luck to you!Matthew C Camp MDMinnetonka/Burnsville/Edina
