About Nipple Reduction Surgery Treatment

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.

Nipple Reduction Surgery FAQ

Does a Nipple Reduction leave scars?

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.

Is Nipple Reduction painful?

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.

How long will a Nipple Reduction last?

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.

Will I still have sensation in my Nipples after Surgery?

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.

Will I still be able to Breastfeed after Nipple Reduction Surgery?

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.
