The size, shape, and proportion of the nipple and areola play a major role in the overall appearance of the breasts. When these features are enlarged or stretched—whether due to genetics, aging, pregnancy, or previous surgery—they can cause self-consciousness or aesthetic imbalance.
At our New York offices in Manhattan and Great Neck, Dr. Thomas Loeb, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs nipple and areola reduction procedures designed to restore natural symmetry and proportion while preserving sensation and function. His meticulous technique creates refined, natural-looking contours that complement the breast’s shape and size.
Below are examples of nipple and areola reduction before and after photos showing real patients who underwent corrective surgery with Dr. Loeb. Each outcome reflects careful attention to proportion, symmetry, and minimal scarring.
By resizing or reshaping the areola and, when needed, reducing nipple projection, Dr. Loeb achieves a balanced, harmonious result that appears naturally integrated with the breast. The procedure can also be combined with breast lift, reduction, or augmentation surgery for comprehensive enhancement.

Small actions create significant healing advantages:










Every patient’s anatomy and goals are unique. During consultation, Dr. Loeb carefully evaluates breast shape, tissue elasticity, and desired areolar size to recommend the best approach. The procedure is often performed under local anesthesia, allowing patients to return home the same day with minimal recovery time.
Common Reasons for Nipple / Areola Reduction:
Nipple and areola reduction typically take 30–60 minutes per side and may be performed alone or in combination with other breast procedures. Dr. Loeb makes precise, circular incisions along the edge of the areola or around the nipple to conceal scars within the natural border.
Most patients return to work and light activity within a few days. Minor swelling or tenderness resolves over one to two weeks, and sutures are removed in about a week. The final result reveals a natural, youthful, and balanced appearance that enhances overall breast aesthetics.
For patients who feel self-conscious about enlarged or asymmetrical areolas, reduction surgery offers an elegant, lasting solution. With over 30 years of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, Dr. Thomas Loeb is known for his precision, artistry, and commitment to natural results.
During your private consultation, he will discuss your goals, review your options, and create a surgical plan that aligns with your aesthetic vision and comfort.
