Nipple Reduction

Nipples come in all shapes and sizes as part of normal anatomical variation. They may be asymmetric (different each size) and sometimes even bifid (split nipple in two parts).

Sometimes ladies with very large projected nipples may wish for them to be reduced in size as they can sometimes cause embarrassment or problems leading to being self-conscious, especially in intimate situations. Whilst Mr Banwell will reassure you that your nipples are just a variation of normal, an operation does exist to help reduce projection and lead to them being less obvious in clothes, swimwear and underwear. However, careful consideration needs to be made regarding nipple reduction.

The procedure itself is a relatively simple one performed under a local anaesthetic with few complications (scarring, adverse scarring, asymmetry, varying projection, numbness and potential issues with breast feeding. Results are generally excellent in the long term and recovery is rapid. Sutures are usually removed after 2 weeks and activities of daily living can recommence around this time.

Mr Banwell and his team will be happy to explain further about prices and available operating dates for nipple reduction in Sussex, Kent and London including the following locations: East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Eastbourne, Bexhill, Hastings, Brighton, Worthing, Chichester, Oxted, Westerham, Sevenoaks, Guildford, Caterham, Maidstone, Chatham, Ashford, Woldingham, Croydon, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Bromley.

BRAS & GARMENTS

Mr Banwell recommends the surgery be performed under local anaesthesia although some patient elect to have this performed under general anaesthesia undertaken by a specialist anaesthetist.

The procedure is relatively minor in terms of recovery and most women are able to return to the activities of daily living immediately. The sutures used need to be removed at 2 weeks. A small dressing is applied and this will be removed at one week at the first postoperative visit.

Bleeding, infection, nipple necrosis and inability to breast feed should be noted.

I am delighted to say that everything has settled down very well and my upper lids are looking extremely good. I would like to thank you for the tremendous care you have taken with me over the past 15 months.

I was very happy with the care I got from Mr Banwell, his team and the staff at the McIndoe Surgical Centre. Mr Banwell and his team were extremely friendly and quick to meet my needs at all times. The team were very professional and always made me feel at ease and welcome at all my consultations and throughout my stay at the surgical centre. The outcome of my surgery is amazing! I am extremely happy with the results I got; it turned out better than I thought. The surgery has really helped my confidence and way of life and I am very grateful for that. Mr Banwell is a fantastic surgeon with a very friendly and professional approach, which is wonderful. I would definitely, without hesitation, recommend Mr Banwell and his team to others considering cosmetic surgery.


Hannah G.

The results of the surgery were excellent. Four months after the surgery there is hardly any evidence of scarring. Mr Banwell was also very good at explaining the nature of the problem and the treatment.


Stephen L.

Mr Paul Banwell performed a wider excision for me in April 2008 following a diagnosis of melanoma. The care and support provided by him has been second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Paul’s approach to surgery and post-surgery is one of honesty and excellence in his field of expertise. I feel safe in his care.


Sarah B.

It is hard for me to find the right words to thank you enough for everything you have done for me. I am sure that my speedy recovery is the result of the amazing job you have done. You are such a remarkable man and a great surgeon. Thank you for everything.


Jesma D.

I was kept well informed and thought it was excellent to see Mr Banwell before surgery, during recovery and afterwards to hear all went well. It was something that caused me discomfort and sensitivity and now I feel much happier not only with the appearance but more importantly it is much more comfortable for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Banwell to my friends, he is truly professional yet has a nice relaxed manner which puts you at ease.
