Nipple-areola Reduction

Large areola may require to be decreased in diameter to look more aesthetic. Similarly, nipple reduction surgery involves decreasing the size of protruding or overly large nipples which embarrassingly show under the clothes.

Treatment Stages

  • To decrease the areola diameter a circular incision is made along the border of your existing areola and a doughnut-shape tissue is cut off. The scar line is easily hidden.
  • An excessively projecting nipple can be reduced by removing a circular strip of skin from the base of the nipple and suturing the skin edges. This surgery doesn’t affect the capacity to deliver milk from the breast.
  • The surgery is carried out under local anaesthesia and there is no need to get admitted to the hospital. If this surgery is part of breast reduction surgery then you will be operated under general anaesthesia.
