Nipple Reduction Surgery
Nipple reduction is a quick, safe surgical procedure that can reduce the size of one or both nipples, to improve their appearance. It can shorten both nipple lengths and reduce the width, creating more balance between the nipple and areola.

Nipple Reduction Surgery
The average length of a nipple reduction surgery is under an hour. After creating a tiny, circular incision all the way around the nipple, the surgeon trims away any extra tissue and reshapes the remaining tissue to make the nipples smaller while being careful to preserve their symmetry. You won’t feel any pain during the nipple reduction procedure itself, since local anesthetic will keep you comfortable.

The Benefits of Nipple Reduction Surgery:
- It can make droopy, stretched nipples and large nipples smaller and more proportional.
- It’s a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery that doesn’t require significant downtime.
- The procedure is considered to be safe, with fewer risks and potential side effects than most types of plastic surgery.
Preparing for your Surgery:
- Smoking should be stopped several weeks before your operation.
- Maintaining a healthy weight can help patients avoid further complications.
- Regular exercise can also help (but make sure you consult your GP first).
- There should be no shaving or waxing of the area to be cut in the week leading up to the operation.
- Having a bath or shower on the day of the operation is a good idea.
Nipple Reduction Surgery Recovery:
You won’t need to take time off work, but you’ll have some tenderness, swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the healing process. The swelling should start to resolve after the first week, though it could take up to six weeks to fully heal.

Nipple Reduction Surgery FAQ
As with any type of surgery, a nipple reduction will leave scars where incisions are done. However, any nipple scarring is typically well-hidden and blends in. Following the aftercare recommendations you are given might help reduce any risk of visible scarring following your nipple reduction surgery. Scars dissipate with time.
Following the procedure, you may have some soreness, swelling, and moderate bruising; this is totally normal. After the initial 3 to 5 days, it ought to start to settle. You should take it easy for the first few days and utilise over-the-counter medicines to ease any discomfort.
The greatest position to sleep in while recovering is on your back, although any pain from your nipple reduction surgery should continue to subside as the tissues settle.
The majority of times, nipple reduction surgery is a permanent aesthetic procedure. You might anticipate long-lasting results from it, which can be fantastic. As with any cosmetic operation, you should strive to lead a healthy lifestyle by eating right, using sunscreen, and quitting smoking to take care of your skin in order to get the most out of your results.
Following surgery, some people could temporarily lose feeling in their nipples, but in most cases, feeling returns as your body heals. Other transient side effects include heightened sensitivity, tingling, or numbness in certain patients.
Even though breastfeeding may still be successful in some circumstances following nipple reduction surgery, it may not be viable if the fundamental structure of the nipple was damaged. It could be preferable to put off nipple corrective surgery until your family is complete if being able to breastfeed is vital to you. At your consultation, your surgeon will be able to provide you with detailed advice.
