More information about nipple and areolar surgery, including before and after pics, is available here.

There are several factors that can alter the shape of your nipples and/or areolas, including breastfeeding, pregnancy, imbalanced hormones, changes in weight, and genetics. Both men and women may have abnormalities of the nipple and areolar area that can be improved with surgery.

Dr. James Nachbar performs breast procedures to correct, reduce, and reposition the nipples and/or areolas for a more symmetrical and natural look. He offers several procedures that can restore the natural shape of nipples that are overly large, misshapen, or inverted. Dr. Nachbar may also reposition or reshape the nipples and areolas after a breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction surgery.

Nipple/Areola Surgery FAQs

There is a possibility of temporary changes in sensitivity after nipple surgery, which typically improves as you heal. However, permanent changes in sensitivity are rare and depend on the extent of the procedure and individual healing responses. If you have any questions or concerns, we invite you to bring them up during your visit with Dr. Nachbar so he can address them with you.

Breastfeeding may still be possible after nipple surgery, but it depends on the type of procedure and how much of the breast tissue or ducts are affected. It’s a good idea to discuss your breastfeeding goals with Dr. Nachbar to ensure they can take this into account during the surgery.

Many patients at Scottsdale Plastic Surgery choose to combine nipple surgery with procedures like a breast lift, augmentation, or reduction. This approach can streamline the process, allowing for more comprehensive results while reducing the overall recovery time. Dr. Nachbar works closely with each patient to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with their aesthetic goals.
