Procedure
Nipple reduction surgery does not require more than one hour and it is carried out under local anesthesia. The length she wants is discussed with the patient.
The scar is perfectly hidden at the base of the nipple and remains completely unnoticed, even naked.
Nipple reduction surgery can be combined with areola reduction surgery if needed. As there is no visible scar in the nipple reduction, the areola reduction leaves a scar around it.
Many women that come for a consultation about this surgery ask about how nipple reduction can affect baby breastfeeding. Women that undergo nipple reduction can breastfeed their babies normally. In very rarely cases breastfeeding is affected by the surgical procedure.
Benefits
Results are highly satisfactory and patients who have undergone this surgery lose their fear to show this part of the body that had caused such a complex.
