Hello, thank you for your question. Nipple reduction is a relatively quick procedure that can be performed under local.  Swelling should resolve in two weeks, the procedure can be performed to reduce the size of your nipples to make them less prominent. Schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

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.When it comes to costs of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider… are some of the potential variables involved.  You will find some average costs of surgery on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well.
I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Nipple Reduction is a very straightforward procedure done under local anesthesia. It takes about an hour to do both sides and it's on an outpatient basis. There is a technique where the sensation can be preserved but both the diameter and the projection of the nipple will be reduced to something that's more compatible with what you seek.Costs are approximately $2000 when done under local anesthesia.
