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.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Unfortunately the picture does not adequately show the scarring formed from the rejected piercing so it is difficult to offer treatment advice.  A breast augmentation may slightly increase the overall size of your areola but in most cases it ...

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to predict how the scar will heal. It may be a bit more sharper color difference between the areola and breast skin after surgery.
