Athēnix surgeons specialize in various techniques to surgically enhance the shape, position, and aesthetics of the nipple and areola complex. Our expertise includes surgical procedures to create or restore a more pleasing appearance. These options include:
Once the swelling subsides, you will have newly balanced nipples that naturally harmonize with your breast appearance. Nipple surgery may lead to altered nipple sensation, with most patients experiencing some reduction. Some techniques may interfere with milk ducts, impacting breastfeeding. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can also affect nipple shape and size, potentially impacting surgery results.

Can I breastfeed after areola reduction surgery?
Yes, males can have areola reduction surgery. Areola reduction is not limited to any particular gender and can be performed on both men and women to reduce the size or correct asymmetry of the areolas.
Nipple and areola reduction surgery typically involves discomfort and pain during the initial recovery period. Your surgeon will prescribe pain medications to manage this pain. Most patients find that the discomfort gradually subsides as they heal.
It's possible that you may experience temporary changes in nipple sensitivity after the surgery. Some patients report increased sensitivity, while others may notice decreased sensitivity. However, these changes are often temporary and tend to resolve as the healing process progresses.
Scarring after nipple and areola reduction surgery can take several months to a year to fully mature and fade. It's important to follow your surgeon's scar care instructions to help minimize the visibility of scars over time.
Breastfeeding may be affected by areola reduction surgery, as the procedure can potentially disrupt the milk ducts and nerves in the nipple and areola. If you plan to have more children and want to breastfeed, it's essential to discuss this with your surgeon beforehand, as they can provide guidance on the potential impact of the surgery on breastfeeding and alternative options.
