Overview
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.

FAQs
Will I be able to breastfeed after a nipple and areola reduction?
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.
Are there any non-surgical options for nipple reduction?
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.
