    Are prominent nipples a common problem?

    Prominent Nipples is an uncommonly discussed problem experienced by both men and women.  Lay people commonly describe the nipple as including the prominent protruding part of the breast as well as the darker circular rim of skin.  Anatomically, the areola is the slightly darker skin surrounding the nipple proper.  The nipple contains lactiferous ducts, a blood supply and sensory nerves.  The nipple can be more prominent in men and women for genetic reasons or after breast feeding in women.  In women, nipples are on average usually 8 mm high and 8 mm wide with a slightly rounded dome at the top. The normal range for women is from 6 mm to 11 mm.  In men, nipples are on average 3-4 mm high and 3-4 mm wide and domed shaped at the top. The areola is significantly smaller in men, compared to women. 

    Why would you want a Nipple Reduction procedure?

    Nipples that are enlarged typically cause patients embarrassment because they can be visible through form fitting clothing. They can also be an issue for patients in intimate settings.  Nipple reduction is frequently requested as part of a breast procedure such as breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction.  In men, it is commonly requested in conjunction with gynecomastia reduction.  Some patients seek treatment for isolated concerns.

    How does the Nipple Reduction procedure work?

    Several different surgical techniques have been described and all are quite successfulScarring is usually minimal and not usually visible with time.  The procedure is usually performed while having another procedure under anesthesia or can be quite comfortably done under local anesthesia in the privacy of the office. There are techniques that remove the top of the nipple (amputation) and others that remove the core of the nipple.  Newer techniques spare the lactiferous ducts and nerves by preserving them.  These advances allow patients to obtain their desired result without compromising the ability to breast feed or sensation
