The nipple reduction procedure is performed at the Breast Reconstruction Center of NYC’s private, fully accredited surgical suite located in Manhattan, New York. It is a minimally invasive surgery that takes between 45 minutes to an hour under local anesthesia. The plastic surgeon makes a minuscule incision on the lower half of each areola and excess tissue is trimmed. Depending on the final surgical technique, the remaining tissue may be reshaped to the patient’s desired aesthetic. Dissolving stitches are placed at the incision site and patients can expect to take a few days off of work to recover.
