I have two extra nipples. I have had them since I was born and I hate them. I can wear swimsuits with nice tops because they show they are right below my original ones.I'm now 17 and want to remove them. Are there home remedies? I heard wart remover works? And if not, I have insurance. Will it cover it and will it hurt? Thanks so much.

Answer: Redundant nipples Having redundant nipples is very common; just under the breast and in the axilla in particular. The surgery is typically straightforward and can be done under local anaesthetic. You will have a small scar but that should fade away with time. Do NOT use a topical treatment. You will not get the result you want and the surgery to correct it will costs more and not look as nice as if you had it done properly from the outset. This is your body, it is worth it.

Answer: Extra nipple removal?
Thank you for the question.
The best way to remove “extra nipples” is the direct excision. Usually, these small scar that remains is less conspicuous than the extra nipple. Occasionally, patients will also have extra breast tissue below the extra nipple that can also be treated. I have had some success treating the extra breast tissue with direct excision and/or liposuctioning.
I hope this helps.
