Sometimes the nipple can elongate with breastfeeding. This procedure can be a simple solution for those who are self-conscious about their nipple size or shape.

Dr. Reddy, a highly skilled plastic surgeon specializing in breast surgery, understands the impact that nipple size can have on a person’s confidence and is dedicated to helping her patients achieve their desired results. This procedure can be done in the office or as an add-on procedure if you are going to have surgery. 

What are the Benefits and Expected Outcomes of Nipple Reduction?

Nipple size and shape can be a source of insecurity for many people. Nipple reduction surgery offers several benefits, including:

  • Improved aesthetic appearance: Create a more harmonious and proportionate look between your nipples, areolas, and breasts.
  • Enhanced symmetry: Correct asymmetrical nipples for a more balanced appearance.
  • Boosted self-confidence: Feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin.

Following the procedure, you can expect a noticeable reduction in nipple size and projection, with minimal scarring.

Most patients experience a quick recovery and can return to their normal activities within a few days. While temporary changes in nipple sensation are possible, they usually resolve over time.

Recovery Process and Post-Surgery Expectations for Nipple Reduction

Recovery from nipple reduction is typically fast and straightforward. In the initial days, you may experience some swelling and tenderness, which can be managed with pain medication.

Dr. Reddy will provide personalized post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
