At Capio, we offer nipple reduction for patients who feel their nipples are too large. The procedure is designed to reduce the size of the nipple or the dark-pigmented area around it and is tailored to your individual wishes and needs. During the initial consultation, the specialist will thoroughly inform you about the procedure, the expected results, and possible complications, so you can feel confident throughout the entire process.

The results of the surgery are permanent, but may be affected by age-related changes. During the procedure, the nipple or the brown-pigmented area around it is reduced, and there will subsequently be a scar corresponding to the extent of the procedure. The scar is most visible immediately after the surgery and will gradually fade. The final result depends, among other things, on skin healing and individual factors, and this will be discussed with the surgeon during the preoperative consultation.
Before surgery
Before the surgery, you will have a preoperative consultation with the plastic surgeon, during which you will be informed about the procedure, the expected outcome, and possible complications. You must follow the instructions you receive regarding medication and preparation, including stopping certain pain relievers and dietary supplements leading up to the surgery. It is also recommended that you pay attention to your overall health, including diet, smoking, alcohol, and exercise, to ensure your body is in the best possible condition before the procedure.
The surgery itself
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. The purpose of the procedure is to reduce the size of the nipple or the dark-pigmented area around it if it is considered too large. Depending on the extent of the procedure, a scar will remain around the nipple and may extend from the nipple down toward the crease under the breast.
After surgery
After the procedure, you can usually be discharged after 1–2 hours. It is normal to experience tenderness, slight swelling, and discoloration in the days following the procedure, which will subside over time. The surgical incision is closed with sutures, which either dissolve on their own or are removed later, and adhesive strips are applied to the incision. You can gradually resume daily activities, but should avoid strenuous movements for a period of time. The final result depends on the healing process, and the scars will become less visible over time.
