Achieve Proportion and Confidence With Nipple Reduction

Nipple reduction surgery is a safe and effective procedure to reduce nipple size and prominence, creating a balanced, natural breast appearance. Ideal for individuals with large, elongated, or asymmetrical nipples that may cause discomfort or self-consciousness, the procedure involves reshaping the nipples by removing excess tissue for a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing result. Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, Dr. Elmaraghy makes a small incision at the base or tip of the nipple to adjust its height and diameter. The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing. Typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes per nipple, nipple reduction can be done alone or in combination with other breast surgeries to achieve your desired results.

Recovery & Results

After nipple reduction, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which typically resolve within the first week. Detailed post-operative care instructions will be provided by Dr. Elmaraghy, including dressing management and activity guidelines.

Most patients resume regular activities within 3 to 5 days, although strenuous exercise and lifting should be avoided for at least 2 weeks. Final results, including a proportionate nipple size, are visible after swelling subsides in 4 to 6 weeks.

Inverted Nipple Surgery

Restore nipple shape and improve appearance with inverted nipple correction. Inverted nipple surgery is a safe and effective way to address nipples that retract inward, creating a more outward, balanced look. SpaSurgica’s approach to inverted nipple correction helps patients feel more confident in their appearance.

Indications for Inverted Nipple Surgery:

  • Inward-retracted or inverted nipples
  • Desire for improved breast aesthetics
  • Issues with nipple hygiene or maintenance due to inversion
  • Reduced confidence due to nipple appearance
  • Difficulty breastfeeding due to inverted nipples

Reclaim Comfort and Aesthetics With Inverted Nipple Surgery

Inverted nipple surgery offers a solution for individuals with one or both nipples that retract inward, often due to genetics, scarring, or past trauma. This condition can affect appearance, confidence, and sometimes breastfeeding ability. Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Elmaraghy creates a natural nipple projection by releasing the internal tissue responsible for retraction.

The procedure, performed under local anesthesia, involves a small incision at the base of the nipple with dissolvable sutures to minimize scarring and ensure a smooth recovery. Typically completed in 30 to 45 minutes per nipple, inverted nipple correction can also be combined with other breast surgeries for a comprehensive result.

Recovery & Results

Post-surgery, mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are expected but generally subside within a week. Dr. Elmaraghy will provide personalized aftercare instructions to support healing and maintain results. Most patients can return to daily activities within 2 to 3 days, though heavy lifting and strenuous activities should be avoided for at least two weeks. The final outcome is typically visible within a few weeks, with the nipples maintaining a natural outward projection.

Nipple Surgery FAQs

Will There Be Visible Scars After Nipple Reduction Surgery?

Dr. Elmaraghy uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. For nipple reduction and inverted nipple correction, incisions are placed in discrete areas, such as around the base of the nipple, ensuring that any scarring is minimal and not highly visible.

Can Nipple Reduction Be Combined With Other Breast Procedures?

Yes, both nipple reduction and inverted nipple surgery can be combined with procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, or reduction. During your consultation, Dr. Elmaraghy will discuss your goals and the best approach to achieve your desired outcome.

How Does Inverted Nipple Surgery Affect Breastfeeding?

If you plan to breastfeed in the future, be sure to discuss this with Dr. Elmaraghy. While the surgery generally preserves functionality, there may be considerations for breastfeeding based on the technique used.

Is Nipple Sensation Affected by These Procedures?

While temporary numbness or changes in sensation can occur, most patients experience a return to normal sensation within a few weeks to months. Permanent loss of sensation is rare but may occur, particularly in extensive reductions or cases where nipple correction is more complex.
