Whether you’re not happy with the appearance of your longer nipples or if the extended length causes irritation, a nipple reduction is a simple procedure that can easily correct that.
Procedure Overview: Nipple Reduction
1. A wedge of some nipple tissue is removed.
2. The resulting incision is closed with sutures.

A nipple reduction is a minor procedure and doesn’t require any significant recovery time.
Although you will have a scar, it’s usually insignificant due to the nature of nipple tissue. Due to the extent of the nipple reduction, you may or may not have issues breastfeeding or lose sensation.
