Single nipple reduction - cost?

Question

Hi, I am a male looking to reduce the length of a single nipple. The areola does not require additional work. How much should I expect the procedure to be, and how long before I can start running again?

Single Nipple Male breast reduction cost factors vary significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor’s office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA and Canada.2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used?3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed during the same surgery?Your surgery would typically be done under local anesthesia and would cost under $2000 for surgeon's fee, and facility charges.#maleNippleReduction

This may cost $1000 or so.Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds 
of body contouring procedures and male breast reductions each year.  
Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo 
galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.	Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. For nipple papule reduction without areola reduction, this is something that is very straight forward and can usually be done in the office under local anesthetic without sedation.The procedure should take approximate 10-15 minutes and cost somewhere between $500-$1,000 total including surgeon's fee and facility fee.  Prices vary geographically and surgeon to surgeon.To be sure, see two or more board certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation.I hope this helps.

The reduction of a single nipple can be done in the office under local anesthesia for a cost of about $750. One can resume all physical activities, including running, immediately after.
