What Is Nipple and Areola Reduction?
Nipple and areola size reduction is a minor surgical procedure that improves the appearance of enlarged, stretched, or protruding nipples or areolas. The procedure can:
- Reduce the diameter of the areola.
- Flatten or shorten nipples that project too far.
- Correct asymmetry between the breasts.
- Restore a youthful look after weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or surgery.
This procedure is often performed on its own or combined with breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction. Dr. Brownlee tailors every surgical plan to ensure your results match your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Benefits of Nipple and Areola Reduction
When it comes to body confidence, the smallest details often matter most. This procedure allows you to feel more comfortable and confident, both in and out of clothing.
Benefits of areola and nipple reduction include:
- Improved Symmetry: Balances the size and shape of the nipples and areolas.
- Refined Aesthetic: Creates a proportionate, natural-looking appearance.
- Clothing Confidence: Eliminates concerns about visibility or protrusion through clothing.
- Restored Balance After Surgery or Pregnancy: Complements other breast procedures or restores a pre-pregnancy look.

Nipple and Areola Reduction: What to Expect
This is a convenient outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia or light sedation, depending on your goals and preferences. Most patients are in and out in less than an hour with minimal downtime.

Nipple and Areola Reduction – FAQs
Yes, and it often is. Many patients choose to combine nipple and areola reduction with a breast lift or breast augmentation for more comprehensive results. Dr. Brownlee will walk you through your options and help create a surgical plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals and lifestyle.
Nipple reduction focuses on reducing the length or projection of the nipple itself, while areola reduction decreases the diameter of the pigmented area surrounding it. These procedures can be done together or separately, depending on your concerns. Dr. Brownlee will evaluate your anatomy and guide you toward the most natural-looking solution.
Possibly. In most cases, the milk ducts remain intact, especially with Dr. Brownlee’s conservative surgical approach. However, if you’re planning to have children soon and breastfeeding is a priority, we may recommend delaying surgery. Don’t worry; we’ll talk through all of this during your consultation so that you feel completely informed.
Not at all. Nipple and areola reduction can benefit anyone who feels uncomfortable with the size or shape of their nipples, including men and nonbinary patients. Dr. Brownlee also offers specialized gynecomastia procedures and can personalize your plan based on your gender identity and goals.
Most nipple and areola reductions can be performed under local anesthesia, especially when done alone. If combined with a larger procedure like a breast lift, general anesthesia may be used. Dr. Brownlee will recommend the safest and most comfortable option based on your case.

Dr. Brownlee uses careful techniques to preserve nerve supply and sensitivity. Some patients experience mild changes in sensation during healing, but full sensitivity typically returns over time. Our team will monitor your healing closely.

Yes. Nipple and areola reduction is often performed alongside a breast lift, augmentation, or reduction. Dr. Brownlee can build a custom plan based on your overall aesthetic goals.
Most patients return to light activities within 1 to 2 days. You’ll need to avoid heavy lifting and intense chest movements for a few weeks, but full recovery is typically complete within 4 to 6 weeks.
Yes. Once healed, the results are long-lasting. Significant changes in weight or future pregnancies may affect the breast tissue, but the areola or nipple shape itself will remain improved.
