Is Nipple and Areola Reduction Right for Surgery?
With breast enhancement is being as popular as it is, it is surprising just how little consideration a women’s areolas and nipples receive. Widely discussed, breast augmentation, reduction, and lifts dominate the conversation. And yet, plenty of women are uncomfortable with the appearance of their areolas or their nipples. At his Denver practice, Dr. Mouchantat offers nipple and areola reduction as an option for women self-conscious of their appearance.
Designed to improve a large, elongated, or stretched appearance, nipple and areola reduction improves more than just the nipple and areola—a proportionate and balanced areola and nipple can enhance the overall appearance of a woman’s breasts.
The Right Size and Shape for You
As with any form of breast enhancement, Dr. Mouchantat is careful to design each areola and nipple reduction surgery specific to a woman’s unique build. The ideal size is determined by your breast size, chest width, and your desired aesthetics. “What you need to consider is the position of the fold of the breast relative to the edge of the ribs, the size of the breast, and the relative skin excess in the upper breast,” explains Dr. Mouchantat. Taking your needs into consideration, Dr. Mouchantat is able to reshape and reposition the areola before forming a proportionate nipple.
What You Can Expect from Nipple and Areola Reduction
Nipple and areola reduction surgery can be performed as a solo procedure, but is often performed in part with a breast augmentation or a breast lift. When performed alone, nipple and areola reduction surgery can be done under local anesthesia and takes around one hour to complete—after which you are able to return home to rest. Most women are able to return to work within a day or two and full activity can be resumed after three to four weeks. When performed in conjunction with another form of breast enhancement, recovery is consistent with that of your augmentation or lift.
Restore Your Figure with Nipple and Areola Surgery
Dr. Mouchantat understands that many women are concerned with their shape, size, or a recent change in appearance. Nipple and areola reduction can restore more than a woman’s appearance—it can restore her confidence.
