About Nipple Reduction Surgery
Nipple reduction surgery typically takes under an hour. The surgeon creates a small, circular incision around the nipple, removes any excess tissue, and reshapes the remaining tissue to reduce the size while maintaining symmetry. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout.

Benefits of Nipple Reduction Surgery:
- Reduces the size of droopy, stretched, or large nipples, making them more proportional.
- Minimally invasive with little downtime required.
- Considered a safe cosmetic procedure with fewer risks than most plastic surgeries.
Preparing for your Surgery:
- Quit Smoking: Stop smoking several weeks before the procedure.
- Healthy Weight: Maintaining a stable weight can reduce complications.
- Exercise: Regular activity helps, but consult your GP first.
- Hair Removal: Avoid shaving or waxing the area to be operated on during the week leading up to surgery.
- Hygiene: Have a bath or shower on the day of the procedure.
Recovery After Nipple Reduction Surgery:
You can return to work shortly after the procedure, but you may experience tenderness, swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the healing process. Swelling usually subsides after the first week, though full recovery can take up to six weeks.
