Male Nipple Reduction

Male nipple reduction is enjoying unprecedented patient demand. In men with enlarged nipples (and not subareolar gynecomastia), traditional nipple reduction techniques (partial amputation, circumcision, and flaps) yield unnecessary compromises. These techniques are designed primarily for preservation of lactation. For men, central wedge nipple reduction is advocated for its simplicity, inconspicuous scars, and low complication rates. Its versatility also facilitates differential reduction of nipple height and width, revision of the previous unsuccessful nipple reduction, and improvement of post-nipple piercing deformities.
