Whether you struggle with protruding, enlarged, or inverted nipples, leading surgeon Paul Banwell utilises the latest techniques to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results through nipple reduction surgery in London.
We understand the profound impact that the size, shape, and appearance of your nipples can have on your self-confidence and overall wellbeing. Having differently sized or shaped areolas can be a sensitive issue for many women and men, but this variation is entirely natural and common.
Areola reduction is a procedure that has helped many women and men in the UK feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies. If you’re considering this option, we encourage you to speak to us about nipple reduction at our London clinic.
The Banwell Clinics are located in Harley Street in London, Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead. Don’t hesitate to get in touch to learn more about nipple reduction surgery with award-winning plastic and cosmetic surgeon, Paul Banwell.

Nipple reduction surgery is designed to achieve a more proportionate appearance of the areola in relation to the breast. The procedure involves removing a circular portion of the outer brown area of the areola before drawing in the surrounding skin to encircle the remaining areola.
Absorbable sutures are placed inside the areola to decrease its diameter, and in most instances, a permanent suture is deeply embedded in the breast tissue to prevent post-surgical widening of the areola.
The nipple reduction procedure at The Banwell Clinic in London has a very high success rate. It’s common to observe skin ruckling after your breast reduction surgery, but this will subside over time.
Using permanent stitches significantly reduces the likelihood of further areola widening, ensuring that the nipples and areola maintain their reduced size. You may experience some changes to nipple sensation following nipple surgery, however, this is likely to be temporary.
You may feel some mild discomfort, swelling or bruising after your procedure, but this can be managed with pain medication until the effects subside.
Nipple reduction surgery can be performed under local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic, so you should not feel any pain during the nipple surgery.
Our patients in London come out of surgery feeling much more satisfied with the look of the nipple and areola following their surgical procedure.
One of the major benefits of nipple reduction surgery is that it effectively reduces the size of the areola, permanently.
You also needn’t worry about extensive scarring; the technique is remarkably precise, confining any scarring to the natural boundary between the areola’s pigmented skin and the surrounding breast tissue.
Addressing the very thing that has made you feel self-conscious for so long is a huge confidence boost.
Nipple reduction surgery in London is suitable for anyone who is unhappy with the size and shape of their nipples. Some patients with overly protruding nipples choose to have an areola reduction to eliminate any embarrassment that may come from having large nipples.
You may also find that your nipples look different due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, weight gain or hormonal imbalances. Nipple correction surgery might be the only way to revert your nipples to how they looked before.
A nipple reduction procedure can have the added benefit of tightening the breast tissue, however, you might choose to combine your nipple reduction surgery with other treatments such as breast augmentation and uplift surgery.
At Paul Banwell London, we take a personalised approach to all treatments. Book a consultation to discuss your goals for nipple surgery and any other breast procedures you would like to combine.

After the first consultation I felt I was in some of the best hands. I expected to feel more confidence in myself ? this was met and exceeded! I didn?t expect the scars to be so neat and small I am very pleased with them. It was a great experience; there was always someone to contact/speak to with questions and they were all supportive. You will not be disappointed.
Mr Banwell was highly recommended by a friend of a friend. She was very satisfied with results which I witnessed. I trusted what I heard and what I saw. My meetings with Mr Banwell only reassured me further. Mr Banwell offered additional discussion time pre op & several follow ups post op. His admin team were 100% helpful and efficient. His manner was approachable and accessible. I would not hesitate to recommend his professional expertise, competitive cost and charming manner. At no point did I feel judged, intimidated or overwhelmed. This was an incredibly positive experience, many thanks to Mr Banwell and the rest of the team.
After deciding to go down the surgery route I contact Mr Banwell’s team and was dealt with quickly and efficiently but most of all everyone was so friendly and helpful which put me at ease. The care from start to finish and still on-going was 110% and everyone who I dealt with was fantastic. Mr Banwell was always professional and friendly and put me at ease from the very beginning. I am so pleased with my results and putting myself in Mr Banwell’s care was the best thing I could have done. It has completely changed my life and I can’t thank you all enough. I have already recommended you to my aunty! Thanks again.
My whole experience was fantastic from start to finish and I am extremely happy with my results. If I had any questions I also got a satisfactory answer and quickly. I would recommend Mr Banwell to anyone who was interested, and I would and probably will be back!
Mr Banwell gave all the facts about the operations (positives and negatives). The results and thorough aftercare exceeded my expectations. You can feel confident to put your trust in Mr Banwell’s professional and thorough approach to doing what is right for you. I was very happy with the whole experience. Thank you!
