Nipple Reduction Surgery in Maidenhead

Nipple and Areolar Reduction surgery is a cosmetic treatment that can reduce the size of the nipples or address their asymmetry. The areolas are the darker, round circles of skin that are found around the nipples. This procedure may be suitable for people who feel discomfort about the size or shape of their areolas.

The surgery will typically take between 30 and 60 minutes to perform and is often combined with nipple reduction or other breast procedures. The treatment is usually performed under local anaesthetic and will take between 6 and 12 weeks to recover from.

Nipple reduction surgery with Medbelle in Maidenhead will usually cost around £2950. A bespoke price can only be offered after the consultation with a surgeon, however. This is because the price may be affected by a number of factors which will be discussed and agreed upon during the consultation. Factors which may affect the price of the treatment include the surgeon's experience, the complexity of the individual case or a patient's medical history.

Once a price has been offered, patients can rest assured knowing that they will not be surprised by hidden costs later down the line. That price will also cover all of the following expenditures:

• hospital costs
• Surgeon and anaesthetist costs
• Aftercare and follow-up appointments
• Overnight stays (if required)

The surgical consultation is a vital part of a patient's journey. It offers a space for the surgeon to properly explain the realistic expectations for patients choosing to have nipple reduction surgery in Maidenhead. During the consultation, the patient and surgeon can the ideal outcomes of the treatment and how which surgical techniques and incisions can be best used to facilitate the best results.

It is always in the surgeon's interest to fulfil a patient's wants and needs as much as possible, it is their job to marry the patient's expectations with what is realistic. They will always prioritise a patient's health above all. Sometimes this may mean that the surgeon will suggest a plan for surgery that differs from what a patient initially expected, or what they had read about online, or heard from a friend. Just know that the surgeon will always have a patient’s best interests at heart.

Patients should remember that achieving great results from surgery is not only contingent on a surgeon’s ability or experience. It is also the patient’s responsibility to properly convey what they are hoping to achieve and communicate clearly at every stage of the process. Patients should never be afraid to ask for more information or clarity; there are no silly questions in a consultation.

The consultation will include:

• An initial discussion about what the patient hopes to achieve through surgery
• A physical examination
• An overview of the risks and complications associated with surgery
• A verbal recommended treatment plan

It may be possible to breastfeed after a nipple and areola reduction. However, this depends on a number of factors including what surgical technique the surgeon uses. Therefore, it is usually advised that you postpone this surgery if you have plans to breastfeed in the future. It is best to discuss with your surgeon about how this procedure might affect your ability to breastfeed, and what the most appropriate option is for you.

If you have recently had a baby and are currently breastfeeding, your surgeon may require you to wait for 3 to 6 months before you have a nipple reduction. This is so that your breasts and nipples can settle before the procedure.

Currently, there are no options other than surgery that can reduce the size of the nipple. Your surgeon can discuss with you the best surgical technique and procedure for you that will achieve the results you desire.
