Reduce nipple length or width to a natural proportion, through a quick procedure with little downtime.


Nipple reduction reshapes nipples that are long, wide, or project more than a patient would like. Prominent nipples can be a natural feature or can develop or enlarge after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Reduction refines the nipple itself, separate from the surrounding areola.
The procedure removes a small amount of nipple tissue to reduce length, width, or both, and closes the area with fine sutures. The technique is chosen to preserve as much sensation as possible and, where appropriate, to protect the ducts. It is often done under local anesthesia in a short appointment.
It can be performed alone or combined with areola reduction or other breast surgery. The goal is a natural, proportionate nipple that suits the breast. All procedures carry risks, and results vary.
It does not reduce the areola, does not change breast size or shape, and cannot guarantee preserved sensation or breastfeeding, though the technique aims to protect both where possible.
You will receive instructions on medication, supplements, and smoking. The amount of reduction in length and width is planned for proportion and symmetry, and any implications for sensation and breastfeeding are discussed.
A small amount of nipple tissue is removed to reduce length, width, or both, and the area is closed with fine sutures. The technique is selected to preserve sensation and, where appropriate, the ducts.
Mild swelling and tenderness settle over the first week. A protective dressing may be used. Most patients return to normal activity quickly, with strenuous activity avoided for about two weeks while the area heals.
A smaller, natural, proportionate nipple is achievable. The procedure cannot reduce the areola, cannot change breast size, and cannot guarantee preserved sensation or breastfeeding, although both are protected where possible.
Nipple reduction is generally safe, but all procedures carry risks. Possible risks include:
Smoking impairs healing of the delicate nipple tissue, so smoking cessation is advised before and after the procedure.
Nipple reduction at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose precise handling of delicate tissue supports a natural result with preserved sensation where possible.
Dr. Amoroso plans the reduction for proportion and symmetry, aiming for a natural nipple that suits the breast rather than an over-reduced one.
From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso explains the achievable size, the small scar involved, and what the procedure means for sensation and future breastfeeding.
