Understanding Size & Nipple Hypertrophy
Nipple size concerns can vary among individuals. Some may feel that their nipples are excessively large or long, while others may perceive them as disproportionate to the rest of their breasts. Many women who opt for this procedure are embarrassed by the width, height and total size of their nipples – whether seen through clothing, or in intimate situations. Aside from cosmetic concerns, excessively large nipples can chafe against fabric, ulcerate and cause pain.
Nipple reduction surgery aims to address concerns with areola circumference and create a more balanced nipple appearance with minimal downtime or discomfort. Our surgeons prefer to perform this procedure within the comfort of our private office under local anesthesia which helps reduce the inconveniences and potential complications associated with general anesthesia, while also reducing your costs.
