NIPPLE REDUCTION
What is
Breast Nipple Reduction?
Nipple reduction or
Areola reduction surgery is
requested by
both women and men.
For most men and women, long or over sized nipples can be an
embarrassment. Nipple reduction
surgery is a safe and quick
way to
address this problem permanently. However,
more women request a nipple reduction
because breast feeding has permanently altered the shape and size of
their nipples, making it longer and somewhat droopy.
Nipple Reduction
is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance
of the nipple and the breast. Many people confuse the areola (the
darker pigmented skin around the nipple) with the nipple (the projected
part of the breast). This cosmetic plastic
procedure is
designed to reshape or reduce
the size of the nipple alone. It can also be combined with an Areola
Reduction.
Risks on
Nipple Reduction Surgery
In Breast
Nipple Reduction,
complications are rare. However, like in
any surgery, there is a chance of infection, scarring or loss of nipple
sensation. These happen rarely too.
