Dr. Macias performs nipple reduction surgery under local anesthesia when it’s done on its own, or under general anesthesia when it’s combined with other procedures. The surgery takes about one hour to complete.
The incision is small and placed where it is nearly invisible for nipple surgery. For an areola reduction, the incision is located around the circumference of the areola. Through those openings, he will remove the excess tissue to change the length, diameter and overall appearance of the nipple and areola.
Nipple surgery has quickly gained popularity for both men and women. In addition to nipple reductions, Dr. Macias can sculpt more aesthetically pleasing nipples and areolas by correcting nipple inversion. If your nipples pull inward, rather than protrude outward, Dr. Macias’s duct-sparing inverted nipple repair procedure can resolve the issue while preserving your future breastfeeding abilities.
