Nipple reduction surgery is a procedure used to correct alterations in the shape and size of the nipple in both men and women. Nipple alterations are very common as a result of breastfeeding, the ageing process or hormonal changes. Moreover, they can be very uncomfortable for the people who have them, as they must adapt their clothing to disguise the outline of their nipples. But it is not all a question of aesthetics. Patients also suffer from irritation, peeling and even small ulcers caused by the constant friction between the enlarged nipple and clothing. The surgical technique to correct alterations in the shape and size of the nipple is simple and safe. In addition, the results are very good, and it is called the three-flap technique. The anaesthesia is local and the postoperative process of nipple reduction surgery is painless. Finally, this technique manages to reduce the size of the nipple by half. The normal measurements of the nipple should be ten millimetres and the height should be between 6 and 8 millimetres, for Caucasian people. No, in fact, the patient can carry on with their normal life, since it is an outpatient plastic surgery and the stitches are removed after 2 weeks.
