Male Nipple Reduction Surgery

MALE NIPPLE PROTRUSION

The size and appearance of a man's chest can significantly impact one's self-confidence and self-image. When it comes to aesthetics, the focus is not just on the well-defined chest shape but also on the male nipple.

Despite being typically smaller than its female counterpart, A man's nipple can present various aesthetic concerns related to male nipple aesthetics, which may cause discomfort and embarrassment.

Anatomical characteristics of enlarged Male Nipple

Male Nipple

A normal male nipple exhibits minimal projection and has a narrow width in the surrounding areola.

Male nipple protrusion, also known as overly projecting nipple is an aesthetic concern for men and often cause them embarrassment, as they:

  • feature a centrally elevated nipple and a surrounding areola
  • closely resemble those of a female

The most common complaint from men is that the nipple sticks out and is visible when they wear shirts.

It is possible to reduce the size of the nipples and make them smaller and less conspicuous through nipple reduction surgery.

HOW DOES NIPPLE REDUCTION SURGERY WORK?

A nipple reduction efficiently and effectively addresses protruding male nipples.

Carried out under local anaesthesia with the patient in a relaxed and asleep state, the procedure involves a vertical excision at the nipple’s base (that resembles nipplelectomy).

The procedure may take an hour or so.

Nipple reduction is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size and enhance the shape of the nipples. This procedure can reduce both the height and width of the nipple and shape it into a more aesthetically pleasing form.

Puffy nipples

Puffy nipples, on the other hand, affects the entire nipple-areolar complex and is a different form of nipple protrusion. It is a result of breast tissue pushing outwards and is referred to as areola gynecomastia.  

This medical condition involves a minor enlargement of male breast tissue, thus, causing a noticeable nipple projection.  In such cases, gynecomastia surgery would effectively and safely address the issues.

FINDING THE RIGHT DOCTOR FOR NIPPLE REDUCTION SURGERY

Finding an experienced doctor is vital for optimal results. Ideally, the doctor should have many years of experience performing body sculpting procedures, particularly involving the male chest.

MALE NIPPLE REDUCTION SURGERY FAQS

Do men’s nipples serve a purpose?

Nipples do not serve any physiological purpose in males. However, they can be sensitive to touch and may provide sexual stimulation. Research indicates that men have a dense network of nerve endings in their nipples, and stimulating this area can activate brain regions similarly to genital arousal [1].

Recovering from male nipple reduction

You can expect some  tenderness around the treated area, but these will gradually subside. Do follow the required post-op instructions as dispensed by the doctor.

Suitable candidates for male nipple reduction surgery

Men with protruding nipples are the ideal candidates. They tend to feel uncomfortable wearing tight-fitting white or light-coloured shirts. They also feel self-conscious when they bare their chest for “shirt-off” activities.

How long do I have to be off work?

You can return to work in 1 to 2 days after nipple reduction surgery.
