Nipple Reduction New York City
Introduction to Nipple Reduction
At our NYC practice, nipple reduction surgery is becoming more and more prevalent. Nipples usually enlarge after childbirth. A severely enlarged nipple can be unsightly and also give an aged look. In women who underwent breastfeeding especially, the deflation of breasts and enlargement of nipples further creates a stronger contrast between the two and accentuate the changes. A combination of breast augmentation with nipple reduction can effectively restore a youthful look.
Who are the Best Candidates for Nipple Reduction?
Nipple reduction is a safe and effective procedure for most men and women who are self-conscious of the size of their nipples and desire an improvement. Patients undergoing the procedure should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations about the possibilities of the surgery.
How is Nipple Reduction Performed?
Depending on the dimension of the enlarged nipple, different techniques can be used to reduce specifically the width, height, or both of the nipple. Often it involves a small incision around the base of the nipple to remove the excessive nipple skin and underlying tissue. There is very little pain from this procedure and can be done completely under local anesthesia.
