Nipple reduction is a minor surgery to reduce size and projection of the nipples. Many women report longstanding concerns about nipple size from breast development, while others have noticed enlargement over time following pregnancies and breastfeeding.
Nipple & Aerola Reduction is a breast enhancement surgery, in which your cosmetic surgeon removes extra skin and tissue to decrease your nipples' height or projection.
A tiny incision will be made just below the nipple. Thanks to the use of melting points, the incision will be almost invisible.
If the retracted nipple is of normal shape, Dr. Coeugniet introduced, under local anesthesia, a ring under the nipple to force it out. If the retracted nipple is due to malformation, he makes an incision at the level of the nipple and cuts the lactiferous ducts, since they are the ones which prevent the normal projection of the nipple.
During nipple reduction, which leaves no visible scars, Dr. Coeugniet sometimes has to cut part of the milk ducts. This is why you should tell the surgeon if you still want to breastfeed after nipple surgery. He will then propose a less radical reduction, which preserves the milk ducts.
For areola reduction, Dr. Coeugniet removes part of the pigmented skin through a small incision made on the outside of the areola. This procedure will leave a thin scar around the areola. It does not affect the possibility of breastfeeding since it preserves the milk ducts.
A tiny incision will be made just below the nipple. Thanks to the use of melting points, the incision will be almost invisible.
Performed under local anesthesia, the surgery lasts about thirty minutes.
You will need to wear a specific bandage for two to four weeks. It is very likely that you will experience loss of sensitivity for some time, or even up to a year, but don’t worry, this is normal.
You can return to work immediately or the day after the procedure.
Getting Nipple & Aerola Reduction is a tremendous personal investment. However, it is not a decision that should be made lightly or in a hurry. Rushing might influence you to choose the wrong shape or go too big, which may impair you from running, jumping, or performing certain physical activities with ease. Go too small, and you may feel underwhelmed with your new look.
