Male nipple reduction surgery is usually done under local anesthesia as an out patient. One can make the nipples much smaller if desired.
Back to work time is usually a weekend. Cost is variable based on what needs to be done and location.
Nipple reduction surgery is requested by both genders for elongated nipples. Some people are just born with them, others get them through breast feeding, or some times just ageing. Surgical techniques are under local anesthesia, and most often a pre-determined (mutually by the patient and surgeon) area is removed and closed with dissolving stitches. Erogenous nipple sensation is usually preserved.
Nipple reduction can be done under local anesthesia with no significant post-op restrictions understanding that the nipples will be sore for a few days.
Making the areola smaller is a different matter.
the best option for you depends on whether it is the nipple itself which is protuberant or the brown area (areaola) around the nipple which is puffy. Both can be corrected but in correcting puffiness of the areola is slightly more complicated than simply reducing the size of the nipple itself.
It is just the nipple that’s causing concern it is possible to make this flash and flash with the skin with no outward direction but you would need to discuss this in detail with your surgeon.
A male nipple reduction is a fairly straight forward procedure. As for the cost, it can vary from region to region.
There are several good options for nipple reduction in men. The most important first step is to be evaluated by board-certified plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in breast surgery in males. The plastic surgeon can help determine if a pleasing result may be accomplished by only addressing the nipples, the nipples with the underlying breast tissue, or just the breast tissue.
There are very good options to treat any combination of these findings.
Nipple reduction in men can be performed to the point where it is nearly flush with the areola. Occasionally the prominence may be associated with excess glandular tissue beneath the areola.
This may require excision of the breast tissue as is performed with gynecomastia repair. Costs for the procedure generally run no higher than $2000 for repairing both sides.
Both men and women request nipple reduction. Different techniques are utilized to reduce the projection and width of the nipple depending on the size of one’s nipple and the desired outcome.
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia unless combined with breast augmentation.
It is possible to reduce the projection of a nipple by simply transecting the nipple at the desired height. This can be done under local anesthesia with minimal pain. The cut wound edge will heal spontaneously (with no stitches) in about a week or so with the application of Neosporin twice a day.
Nipple reduction can be performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The size of the new areola and nipple should be addressed by patient and his/her plastic surgeon in order to establish harmony in function and anatomy of the nipple and areolar complex.
It is common for me to perform nipple reduction in men. In some cases it is reduction of the actual nipple, and in other cases it is reduction of the areola. It may involve the skin, the underlying tissue or both.
