Can really large nipples be fixed?
Large or hypertrophic nipples are nipples that have become so large (typically in response to breast feeding) that they flop down over the areola. This condition ironically seems to be more common in women with smaller breasts. Correction involves surgically recessing the nipple into the areola by trimming redundant skin around the nipple. This can be performed under local anesthesia. If bupivicaine (long-lasting local anesthetic) is used, you may return to work on the same day. Average total cost is $1500.
