Nipple Reduction Surgery
What is Nipple Reduction Surgery?
Nipple reduction surgery is a minor cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the size, height, or width of overly prominent nipples. It’s commonly sought by individuals—regardless of gender (male or female)—who feel self-conscious about disproportionately large nipples due to hormonal changes, genetics, or breastfeeding.
The procedure enhances the balance and aesthetics of the breast by reshaping the nipple in a manner that complements the overall breast contour.
Nipple Reduction Surgery Can Help With:
- Long or protruding nipples
- Wide or disproportionately large nipples
- Asymmetrical nipple size or shape
- Discomfort or irritation from clothing or nipple wear
- Post-breastfeeding or age-related nipple changes
- Improving breast aesthetics as part of augmentation, lift, or reconstruction

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I lose nipple sensation?
A: The remaining nipple will still have a sensation.
Q: Can I still breastfeed later?
A: Depends on how much nipple is preserved which will depend on the desired nipple size. The smaller the nipple, the less chance of breastfeeding.
Q: Will there be visible scars?
A: Incisions are discreetly placed around the nipple edge or in folds; they fade significantly over time.
Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: No—local anesthesia ensures comfort during surgery; post-operative soreness is mild and treated easily with medication.
