What are the risks of nipple reduction surgery?

Areola or nipple reduction operations normally proceed without complications. However, the number of cases where this type of surgery has gone wrong is increasing in the UK, and the results can be painful, damaging and embarrassing. Like any surgical procedure, nipple reduction surgery carries certain risks, including:

• Infection

• Bleeding

• Scarring

• Changes in nipple sensation

• Asymmetry

• Complications that affect future breastfeeding

• Nipple loss in rare cases

Discussing these potential risks with your surgeon before undergoing the procedure is important to make an informed decision and understand the measures taken to minimise them.

Is it only women who get nipple correction surgery?

Both men and women can undergo a nipple reduction procedure. This type of surgery is not exclusive to women; men who experience puffy nipples, enlarged nipples, or other aesthetic concerns may also seek this treatment to achieve their desired appearance. Nipple correction surgery can address various issues such as asymmetry, size reduction, and reshaping to create a more balanced and proportionate look.

How long does it take to recover from nipple reduction surgery?

Recovery from nipple reduction surgery typically takes several weeks. Most individuals can expect to resume normal activities within a week, although strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least four to six weeks. Swelling and bruising may persist for a few weeks, and final results will gradually become apparent as healing progresses. Following post-operative care instructions from your surgeon is essential to support the healing process.

How to get nipple sensation back after a breast reduction

Regaining nipple sensation after breast reduction can vary among individuals. The sensation typically returns over time as nerves heal, which may take several months to a year. Gentle massage, avoiding pressure on the area, and following your surgeon's guidelines can aid recovery. If concerns about sensation persist, consulting with your surgeon for tailored advice is recommended.

What happens if you lose a nipple?

In the rare event of losing a nipple due to surgery complications, reconstructive options are available. Nipple reconstruction can be performed using skin grafts, local tissue rearrangement, or tattooing to create a natural appearance. Discussing these options with your surgeon can help you understand the best course of action and the outcomes you can expect from reconstruction.

How can we help?

Surgeons and clinics performing nipple reductions have a responsibility to provide patients with a service that meets certain standards. If you feel this hasn't happened and you have suffered as a result, you may be entitled to claim for compensation.
