General Information About Nipple Reduction
Some women have large nipples and would like them to be smaller. This condition can be corrected relatively easily under local anesthesia or, if necessary, with some additional sedation.
Size
A metal ring with a diameter of either 42 mm, 38 mm, or 36 mm is used, so you can choose the size you want. Other sizes are available, but these are the most common.
What will the scars look like?
The scars are slightly red at first, but they fade and soften over time. We recommend taping for a long time afterwards to minimize visible scarring.
It is also possible to laser treat or tattoo the scars in the same color as the areola later on to make them almost completely disappear.
