Patient Testimonials
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Honestly, I spent years being super self-conscious about how my nipples looked in sports bras or certain tops, but I was always too nervous to actually do anything about it. I finally booked a consult at Town Plastic Surgery and I’m so glad I did. The office in NYC is great, but more importantly, the team just 'got it.' They didn't make me feel weird for being picky about the details. The surgery itself was way easier than I thought. I was back to my normal routine pretty quick. My results look totally natural and actually fit my body now. Just wish I hadn't waited so long to do it.”

Overview
Nipple & Areola Reduction in NYC & long Island
Nipple and areola reduction is a specialized aesthetic procedure designed to resize, reshape, or reposition the nipple-areola complex for a more proportionate and balanced breast appearance. Whether due to genetics, breastfeeding, or natural changes over time, many patients seek this procedure to feel more comfortable in clothing and more confident in their own skin.
At Town Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons provide discreet, refined care tailored to your unique anatomy. We focus on achieving a natural look with minimal downtime, helping you achieve the silhouette you’ve always wanted.
Why consider nipple & areola reduction?
Patients typically choose this procedure when they feel their nipple or areola size is out of proportion with the rest of their breast. Common reasons for seeking treatment include:
Enlarged Areolas: Often a result of pregnancy, nursing, or weight fluctuations.
Elongated Nipples: Reducing projection for a smoother look in bras and swimwear.
Asymmetry: Balancing the size or shape between the two breasts.
Clothing Discomfort: Reducing irritation caused by friction against clothing.
your custom procedure Options
Nipple and areola reduction is highly individualized. During your consultation, your surgeon will recommend a technique based on your specific goals:
Areola Circumference Reduction: Removing excess pigmented skin to create a smaller, circular diameter.
Nipple Height/Width Reduction: Sculpting the nipple to a more subtle projection.
Combined Contouring: Addressing both the nipple and areola simultaneously for total symmetry.
Internal Suturing: Using advanced techniques to ensure long-lasting results and discreet scarring.
What to expect: The treatment journey
Nipple and areola reduction is a straightforward, outpatient procedure usually performed under local anesthesia or light sedation at our private NYC or Long Island facilities.
The Procedure: Typically takes about an hour.
Recovery: Most patients return to desk work within 1–2 days and light exercise within a week.
Results: While there is minor initial swelling, the refined shape is visible almost immediately, with scars fading significantly over time.
Who is a candidate for reduction?
You may be an ideal candidate if you are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for aesthetic improvement. This procedure is common for both women and men who feel their nipple area is a source of self-consciousness. Our surgeons provide one-on-one consultations to ensure the procedure aligns with your lifestyle and body goals.

FAQ
How is Nipple & Areola reduction performed?
Nipple and areola reduction is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia or light sedation. To reduce the areola, a small amount of pigmented skin is removed to create a smaller, more circular diameter. To reduce nipple size or projection, the surgeon carefully reshapes the tissue to a more subtle profile. Advanced internal suturing is used to ensure the results are both symmetric and long-lasting.
Will I have visible scarring after the procedure?
Our surgeons use refined techniques where incisions are placed along the natural borders of the areola (the "peri-areolar" line). This allows the scars to blend into the natural transition between the pigmented skin and the breast tissue. While all surgery results in some scarring, these typically fade significantly over time and become very discreet.
What is recovery like After a reduction?
Recovery is typically very straightforward. Most patients experience mild soreness for 24–48 hours and can return to non-strenuous office work within 1 to 2 days. You will be advised to wear a supportive, non-underwire bra for a few weeks and avoid heavy lifting or high-impact exercise for about 7–10 days.
Will a reduction affect nipple sensation after breastfeeding?
In most cases, sensation is preserved because the nerves supplying the nipple are located deep beneath the skin being adjusted. Regarding breastfeeding, while many patients successfully nurse after a reduction, any surgery involving the nipple complex carries a small risk of affecting milk ducts. If you plan to breastfeed in the future, please discuss this with your surgeon during your private consultation.
Is nipple & areola reduction covered by insurance?
No. Because this is an elective procedure performed for aesthetic improvement or personal comfort (rather than as part of a post-cancer reconstruction), it is not covered by insurance. We provide transparent pricing and offer several flexible financing options to help make the procedure affordable for our patients.
