What Do These Procedures Do?
Nipple and areola reduction procedures are designed to address concerns related to the size and proportions of these features. For individuals with naturally large areolas or stretched skin causing enlarged areolas, this procedure can effectively reduce their size. Additionally, for those with large, long, or wide nipples, these procedures can reduce both their length and girth.
What Do These Procedures Not Do?
It's important to understand that nipple and areola reduction procedures focus on addressing size and proportions. They are not intended for other breast-related concerns such as breast augmentation mammoplasty or lift (mastopexy). It's essential to have realistic expectations about the outcomes, as these procedures are specifically tailored to change the appearance of the nipples and areolas.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
A good candidate for nipple and areola reduction is someone seeking to change the appearance of their nipples or areolas due to size-related concerns. Nipple and areola reduction procedures are typically performed under general anaesthesia in a hospital setting. Dr Hertess performs surgeries at John Flynn Private Hospital and Miami Private Hospital on the Gold Coast.
Recovery and Pricing
Recovery after nipple and areola reduction is typically straightforward, with less discomfort and downtime compared to other surgeries. Patients may experience some mild swelling and bruising, which usually resolve within a few weeks. Specialised post-operative care instructions are provided to support the recovery process.
As for pricing, the cost of nipple and areola reduction procedures varies depending on individual needs and goals. A consultation with Dr. Hertess is necessary to assess each patient's unique requirements and provide a personalised quote. During the consultation, all aspects of the procedure, including costs and potential financing options, will be discussed to ensure transparency and clarity.
