What is nipple reduction?
With the breast and the most harmonious nipples, both functional and aesthetical!
The nipple reduction surgery is performed when the nipple is too large or protrudes or saggy compared to the size of the breast.
There are also some inherited factors, especially after pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.
If the nipple is too big and bounces out, it is not good from aesthetical view. It also causes problems such as psychological discomfort and breastfeeding. Therefore, it is recommended to correct the nipple in a balanced shape and size.
Since it is a complicated operation to be careful not to injure the mammary line during the operation, it is necessary to have a specialist medical staff with many experience and know-how for operation of the breast.

Ideal ratio of nipple and areolar
The nipple is small in size and sensitive, so it requires delicate procedures.
The shape and size of the nipple varies depending on individual’s condition, so a precise diagnosis before the operation of the specialist is necessary.
Ruby preserves the ducts and reduces the nipple, so it is not a problem for the breastfeeding functionally. It is possible to do daily life immediately after the surgery, and the operation is performed considering not only the aesthetical but also the functional aspect.
The average diameter of the common areolar is 3.5-4.5cm, and the average diameter of the nipple is 1-1.5cm. If it is too big or sagging, it will be subject to nipple reduction

Nipple Reduction
Surgical method
Preservation method / Breastfeeding possible
It removes a certain amount of the middle or upper part of nipple, and sutures it again to reduce the size and height of the nipple.
Non-Preservation / Non-Breastfeeding possible
The upper part of the nipple is resected in V shape or grid and then sutured. The size of the nipple can be certainly reduced, but breastfeeding becomes impossible because the duct is blocked.
Suture after resection in V shape or grid shape.
Precautions after surgery
- From 6 hours after the operation, you can eat food and you should eat mild food porridge.
- A light shower can be done after 48 hours of operation. (It is not good if you are immersed in the water or in a hot environment.)
- Depending on individual differences, it can cause swelling and bruising. Do not bend your head or bow when sleeping; use 2~3 pillows to make 20~30 degree upper body. This will help prevent swelling and pain.
- During the first week after operation, the arm should not be raised over 90 degrees and it is best to lift heavy objects or to act on your arms.
- From 2 weeks after surgery, light exercise like jogging is possible.
- Drinking and smoking after surgery can slow down the healing and should be avoided for 3~4weeks. Be careful of strong trauma during recovery.
