Can you advise on expectations of decreasing nipple size? (Photos)

June 18, 2022
Asked By:ginac0323 in North Ridgeville, Ohio

I have breast feed soon to be 4 babies. My nipples have increased in size and darkness of color. I want to reduce the size of nipples and how far they extend. I’m not sure if I want areola surgery as I want a breast implants and feel after boobs increase in size my nipples wil look more proportional. I am extremely scared of decreasing sensitivity in nipples after surgery. Losing feeling sensation in them. Also them looking unnatural or worse in appearance.

Is there anyway to decrease the size of the areola through non-surgical means? Could a CO2 laser, or fillers help to reduce?
Leila Kasrai, MD, FRCSC says:

Generally speaking, your areola size would not be affected by nipple surgery. The tissues causing your nipples to remain flat can be released, allowing your nipples to protrude more. At the same time, an areola reduction could be performed to reduce the size of your areola. There are no safe...
