Procedure Details

Consultation and Preparation


The process begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Forbes evaluates nipple size, symmetry, and overall breast proportions while discussing your aesthetic goals and expectations. This personalized assessment allows for a carefully tailored surgical plan designed to achieve natural balance and harmony with the surrounding breast tissue.


Anesthesia


Nipple reduction is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure with minimal recovery time.


Time Required


The procedure generally requires approximately 45–60 minutes.


Surgical Technique


Using precise, refined incisions, excess nipple tissue is carefully removed to reduce projection and size while preserving natural contour and sensation. The remaining tissue is meticulously reshaped to maintain proportion and symmetry. Incisions are closed with fine sutures placed to heal discreetly and minimize visible scarring.


Recovery and Aftercare


Recovery is typically quick, with most patients returning to normal daily activities within a few days. Mild swelling, tenderness, or sensitivity may persist for 1–2 weeks, with full healing and scar refinement occurring over several months. Detailed aftercare guidance supports optimal recovery and lasting results.
