Nipple Reduction
Subtle refinement
A small procedure with a meaningful personal impact
Nipple reduction is one of the most intimate and understated procedures in cosmetic surgery — and it's one where the details matter enormously. At Surgical Suites of Beverly Hills, this procedure is performed in a private, respectful environment with the same precision and care as every surgery we support. The result is natural-looking, proportionate, and discreet.

What is nipple reduction?
Nipple reduction reduces the length, diameter, or projection of one or both nipples. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia (or sedation if combined with another breast surgery) and typically takes 30–60 minutes. It can be performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with breast augmentation, lift, or reduction. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.

Recovery is minimal. Most patients resume normal activities within 1–3 days. The area should be kept clean and dry, and strenuous activity or pressure on the breasts should be avoided for 2–4 weeks.
