Nipple-areola reduction and augmentation are cosmetic surgical procedures focused on modifying the size, shape, and appearance of the nipples and areolas. These procedures can address concerns related to oversized, asymmetrical, or irregularly shaped nipples and areolas.

What is Nipple Areolea Reduction or Augmentation?

• Nipple-Areola Reduction: This procedure aims to decrease the size and prominence of the nipples and areolas. It involves removing excess tissue and reshaping them to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
  
• Nipple-Areola Augmentation: Nipple-areola augmentation focuses on increasing the size and definition of the nipples and areolas. It is typically performed to enhance the appearance of small or underdeveloped nipples and areolas.

Benefits of Nipple Areolea Reduction or Augmentation

For Nipple-Areola Reduction:

• Improved Proportion: Reduction can bring the nipple-areola complex into better proportion with the breast size.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: It can create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing nipple-areola appearance.
• Enhanced Comfort: Reducing oversized nipples can alleviate discomfort caused by friction and irritation.

For Nipple-Areola Augmentation:

• Enhanced Size and Definition: Augmentation increases the size and definition of small or underdeveloped nipples and areolas.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: It can provide a more pronounced and aesthetically pleasing appearance to the nipple-areola complex.

Treatment Process

ZenKai’s Nipple Areola Reduction or Augmentation treatments are tailored to your preferences, always with your comfort and satisfaction in mind. Here’s an insight into what each procedure involves:

1. Consultation:

• The process begins with a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During this consultation, patients discuss their goals, concerns, and desired nipple-areola appearance.

2. Anesthesia:

• The procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring patient comfort during the surgery.

3. Incision Placement:

• Incisions are made around the perimeter of the areola for both reduction and augmentation procedures. The specific technique used depends on the individual’s needs and goals.

4. Tissue Adjustment:

• Nipple-Areola Reduction: Excess tissue is removed from the nipple and areola, and the remaining tissue is reshaped and contoured to achieve the desired size and shape.
  
• Nipple-Areola Augmentation: In this procedure, a small amount of tissue may be added or implants may be used to increase the size and definition of the nipple-areola complex.

5. Sutures and Healing:

• The incisions are closed with sutures, and patients receive post-operative instructions for proper healing and care.

2. Duration of Results:

Maintenance procedures or non-surgical treatments may be considered as needed to maintain the desired appearance.
