I decided to have my nipples reduced in projection and width. They were enlarged due to having breastfed 2 babies prior. I just wanted them to look more like they did before, and to be able to go without a bra without my boobs looking like triangles because of them! Nipples also drooped a little. Procedure was about 1.5 hours under local anesthesia only. 2 hours after procedure, the numbing went away and stinging/pain began. It was mild to moderate. If I sit still-there is no pain. But any movement brings the pain/stinging back. Tips of nipples were cut off to reduce length, and tissue was also removed from inside nipple to reduce width, then all sewed back together with dissolvable sutures. So far, the pain is tolerable and they look relatively cute (for still being swollen and bloody). Will update again once swelling is down and post an after pic. Thanks for reading!

I am curious about nipple sensitivity. I'm having breast aug. And my doctor mention about nipple reduction, I am considering it but I'm scared to loose sensation on my nipples. Keep us posted :)

That depends on the type of procedure performed and I believe it depends on the individual as well. My doctor informed me that after nipple reduction, sensations vary for atleast 6 months, and possibly permanently. I'll update about my experience once I know what it is :)

Bruising has turned yellow. Nipples tingle and itch due to healing. Sometimes I feel a light "let down" type feeling--if you have ever breastfed, then you know what I mean. Dr told me on day 1 that they will be 1/3-1/2 half the size they were immediately after procedure, once all the swelling goes away. There's still a lot of swelling-so I don't know what my results really are yet. ????
Thank you for joining us. The nipple sensitivity can be a little crazy for a while. Please let us know how you are doing and also post some after pictures for us.
