Nipple Reduction New York City

WHY NIPPLE REDUCTION?

At our practice in New York City, 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 breast feeding 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 the youthful look.

HOW IS IT DONE?

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.

Preparing for a Nipple Reduction

Before undergoing the procedure, it is essential that patients follow a few pre-operative instructions to ensure the procedure carries out safely. These instructions include:

• Avoiding blood-thinning and anti-inflammatory medications
• Stop smoking a few weeks before and after the procedure
• Stop drinking alcohol a few days prior to the procedure
• Don’t eat several hours before the procedure

We’ll provide you with more in-depth information during your consultation to help prepare you for undergoing nipple reduction surgery.
