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 FAQ
Does a Nipple Reduction leave scars?
Is Nipple Reduction painful?

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.
