Hello, this may sound like a bit of a silly question, so apologies, but after showering I notices that one of my nipples was a slightly different shape to my other one. The actual nipple itself is oval and the other one the same but slightly different looking. You can notice once looking very closely though so is only slightly, I am.just wondering is this normal, and normal.for men to have slightly different shape to the other one? Otherwise everything else is completely normal. I am a 24 year old male

Answer: Male nipple size/shape asymmetry Perfect symmetry is rare--whether we're talking about the face, the chest, or even the nipples.If you are asking whether some nipple asymmetry is problematic, the answer is only if it bothers you enough to do something about it. If it does not, then don't worry about it. If it does, then you may wish to consider nipple reduction on one (the oval side) or both sides.Surprisingly, I perform male nipple reductions at least a couple times each month. Nipple reduction surgery is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about 30 minutes. For your comfort, we also have laughing gas available at no additional charge. After the numbing medication is placed, a chevron-shaped (think of the Chevron logo) removal of excess tissue is performed, and the incision is closed with absorbable sutures. I generally recommend leaving a small amount of residual nipple projection. The areas are covered with antibiotic ointment and band-aids. Pain is usually mild and well-controlled with Tylenol. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few days. The resulting scars are generally inconspicuous and are often difficult to find.
