My nipples are bigger than my boobs and I want to know if they can be fixed.

Question

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your
question.Yes, nipple areolar reduction is possible and can usually be done in the office under local anesthesia.

To be sure, see two or more experienced,
board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are
a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have this particular procedure.

I hope this helps.

There are procedures to reduce the nipple size.  They usually involve removing some of the tissue of the nipple and may make it impossible to breast feed.  If you are not interested in breast feeding, you can see a plastic surgeon for a consultation to discuss the procedure with you.

Shim Ching, MD · Answer

A nipple reduction is a simple surgery that can easily reduce the size of your nipples.  Please seek a board certified plastic surgeon who can do this for you.

Heather J. Furnas, MD · Answer

Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to find out the best option for you. He/she will need to examine you to assess the shape, projection, and symmetry of your nipples, areolas, and breasts.Sometimes patients with nipples larger than their breasts are interested in a breast augmentation at the same time that their nipples or areolas are reduced. If that interests you, you should discuss it during your consultation.The video associated with this answer is about a donut mastopexy for reducing the diameter of the areolas. If you're interested in reduction of the nipple itself, click on the link below to view a video that includes nipple reduction before-and-after views.All the best.

Dear Seantanis,

If it is strictly how far forward the nipples are
projecting, that can easily be corrected under local anesthesia. On the other
hand, if you are referring to the areolae having too large a diameter, that is
more complicated which would require reduction in the operating room.

I hope this has been helpful to you.
