Nipple & Areola Anatomy

While the areola and nipple together are often referred to as the “nipple,” they are actually 2 distinct structures. The nipple is the projected part, and the areola is the darkened, pigmented skin that surrounds the nipple.

Dr. Cambeiro performs nipple reduction surgery to improve the appearance of the nipple.

Nipple & Areola Correction FAQ

Any incision around the areola or nipple can reduce sensitivity; however, in most cases normal feeling returns within about 6 months.

Inverted nipples may make it difficult for the baby to latch onto the breast and therefore make breastfeeding frustrating for both baby and mom. However, in some cases nipple surgery may affect breastfeeding. If shortened milk ducts are causing the nipple to invert, they may need to be completely detached and no longer function. During your consultation, we will weigh the pros and cons together to choose the solution that is best for you.

Most patients have their nipples reduced or have correction of inverted nipples independently of other breast surgeries. It may seem like a small procedure, but nipple and areola surgery has improved the lives of many women and men.

I recommend waiting until afterward because it’s likely that your areolas will become stretched again by pregnancy and breastfeeding. If pregnancy is far off in your future, it may make sense to have the procedure sometime soon.
