Thanks for your question. It is possible to reduce nipples as an outpatient procedure under local anesthetic. A plastic surgeon will be able to discuss the pros and cons, recovery time etc in more detail.
Nipples may be reduced in projection or diameter. The procedure may be performed under local anesthesia. I prefer to perform the operation under magnification to maximize precision. The recovery is quick and easy.
Thanks for writing,There are great techniques to reduces the nipple size, both in projection and width if needed. Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is comfortable doing this.

Men with protruding nipples describe self-consciousness when wearing a bathing suit or a light T-shirt. Many wear dark colored shirts, shirts with letters across the chest, or two T-shirts at once--even in the summertime.Male nipple reduction is performed under local anesthesia. Laughing gas may also be used, if desired, at no additional charge. A chevron-shaped (think of the Chevron logo) removal of excess tissue is performed, and the incision is closed with absorbable sutures. I generally recommend leaving some residual nipple projection, though the nipples can be reduced considerably. The scars are frequently imperceptible.
Reduction of the size or the protrusion of the nipple can be performed very easily under local anesthesia in an office setting. The resulting nipple can be made completely flat or some residual height can be left behind. In men sometimes there may be some additional breast tissue that sits behind the nipple and areola that further pushes the nipple out. This tissue can be firm and cause symptoms of pain and is termed gynecomastia. If this is the case, this tissue can also be addressed at the time of nipple reduction. Scarring after healing from these procedures is mostly negligible.
Nipple reduction surgery is an excellent procedure with minimal risk. Our office uses a modified technique that minimizes the risk of sensory loss. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Without a photos it is hard to give a precise answer, but nipples can be reduced with surgery. Areolar size can also be reduced. Consult in person with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Below is an example of a nipple reduction. In that section we also have some areolar...
