Breast

Nipple Reduction

Overview

Areolas are the pigmented areas surrounding the nipples. Areolas can be of different sizes, shapes, and colors. It's completely normal to have different areola types, but if you feel uncomfortable with the size of your areola, then Areola Reduction Surgery is for you. HospitalXP has introduced this procedure to get your dream size for nipples.

Areola reduction surgery is a standard outpatient procedure involving the reduction of the diameter of one or both the breast's areolas. This surgery can be paired with a breast lift, breast reduction, or breast augmentation, all available at HospitalXP.

Am I a suitable candidate for this operation?

The breasts must be fully developed to undertake this procedure. You can choose to have this surgery to reduce your natural areola size. If you have faced weight loss and have stretched areola skin, areola reduction surgery will help you lose that extra skin. You can also opt for this surgery if you have lost your previous nipple shape from pregnancy and breastfeeding. Finally, if you suffer from an asymmetrical areola shape, this procedure will help you get both the areolas.

Nipple Reduction Procedure

Nipple Reduction Procedure is done in three stages:

Perioperative

HospitalXP respects your goals and keeps the client information confidential. Our Ph.D. surgeons consult you first-hand to listen to you and understand your goals. Then, they will analyze your health status and adjust your current medication. After all the primary analysis, they will examine your areolas and make a customized surgical plan according to your preferences. Finally, they will take pictures for future comparison and results.

Intraoperative

Areola reduction surgery is a straightforward surgery that takes approximately one hour to execute. This procedure is under general anesthesia. It includes the practiced doughnut-shaped cut around the areola line, chosen by the surgeons to hide the scars. The areola is then put back together with the help of a permanent suture which is buried deep in the breast; these sutures help the areola not stretch back and increase in size.

Postoperative

Once the procedure ends, you will be under 24-hour examination to avoid complications. The surgeon will prescribe you a list of medications to ease your pain and inflammation and help to prevent infection. Our surgeons will instruct you with specific guidelines to protect your wound from surgery and get perfect results. You will have to wear a surgical bra for some time to help heal your breast's areola. Our surgeons suggest that you refrain from heavy lifting and exercise until your surgery area is completely healed.
