The Best Nipple Reduction in Manchester by Star Clinic

The nipple itself may appear too wide or uneven in shape, or most commonly, overly protruding in size. The areola is the area of softer skin that surrounds the nipple and is pink or brown in colour. This too can be of unsatisfactory appearance to a person: presenting a misshapen form, being puffy or raised from the skin, or simply too large in proportion to the developed breast.

Feeling uncomfortable with the appearance of your nipples can have a negative impact on your emotional well-being, giving way to feelings of embarrassment and self-consciousness.

If you feel that undertaking a Nipple Reduction will improve your life, then a consultation with Mr. Marando will help you to understand if this is right for you. Mr. Marando will give a full and thorough assessment, taking into account your psychological difficulties and the physical condition that you present with.

Mr. Marando will give you a full account of what is involved in the actual operation, including all the possible risks and side effects, as well what is to be expected for the final outcome.

Each case is different and Mr. Marando will take a tailored approach to your individual concerns, deciding upon the most effective technique to use that will deliver truly bespoke results.

The procedure is most often carried out under local anaesthetic, when performed on its own, but can also be part of a combination of procedures, when a general anaesthetic may be used, including: breast lift, breast augmentation or breast reduction. For this procedure a band of skin around the base of the nipple is removed, bringing the position of the nipple nearer to the breast and decreasing the overall height before closing the wound.

Where the concerns pertain to the areola, some of the tissue is removed from the brown area in a circular form before the surrounding skin is stitched to meet the areola.

It may be the case that a person can experience nipples that differ in appearance from each other, and this procedure can be effective in creating a more symmetrical look. As can correcting inverted nipples, where the nipples are given a revised position, lifting them out of the areola.

The procedure uses dissolvable stitches and dressings will be needed for around 1 week. Swelling and bruising is commonly experienced for up to 2 weeks after the treatment and you will need to reduce your daily activity levels during this time to allow for healing to be effective, taking time off work also. Scarring should be very discreet and may go fairly unnoticed due to the situation of the incisions.

Full and thorough follow-up assessments conducted by Mr. Marando will consider how well you are healing and he will be able to offer any further advice and assess how the results are developing.

The final results will gradually become apparent over a period of around 2 – 3 months, when reducing the size of your nipples and improving the shape may offer a boost to your self esteem. Feeling more satisfied with their appearance could give you the confidence to wear what you want, be it in your underwear or with close fitting clothes, or even when in an intimate situation.
