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 was referred to Mr Paul Banwell in February 2010 when I was diagnosed with an advanced melanoma in the lymph nodes in my left groin.  At my consultation he explained in layman’s terms my diagnosis and all details regarding the operation I needed.  Mr Banwell operated on 27th February 2010. The operation was a complete success – he has removed all the cancer as subsequent scans have proven.  I then spent seven days recuperating in the McIndoe Surgical Centre in East Grinstead under Mr Banwell’s and his specialised teams care. They were all wonderful. Mr Banwell was at my bedside every morning to check my progress. His kindness and caring knew no bounds. He made all my fears and anxieties groundless and replaced them with optimism for a great feature and my aftercare was first class.  I would recommend this highly professional, dedicated, humane family man to all who need any medical intervention. He is the best. How do you thank a man who gives you your life back? There are no adequate words.

Procedure was quick, pain fee and I was made to feel at ease. I would highly recommend Mr Banwell, he provided an honest opinion of the result and all the options. I barely have a scar to speak of! Great result.


Claire H.

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.

From the welcome I got on my first visit to post-op consultations, the team were very friendly. Mr Banwell is undoubtedly the most professional and caring surgeon I could wish for. I have felt completely confident in his expertise, and am thrilled with the results. I would not hesitate – and indeed have – to recommend him to all my friends.


H F.

From initial consultation right through to arrival for surgery and the subsequent aftercare, I have found the level of courtesy, understanding and professionalism of yourself and your team (both medical and administrative) to have been exemplary. So please accept my heartfelt thanks for accepting me as a patient and for your surgical expertise which has made such a positive difference in so many aspects of my life.


Christina C.

During the time I have been in the care of Paul and the team I have been treated extremely well and very professionally, I could not have asked for better care. Paul was extremely caring and considerate throughout this time and has put me at ease during any procedures that I have had carried out. I trust his judgement completely and recommended Paul to a close family member who had a similar problem.
