Nipple Reduction

Genetics and Lifestyle Influence the Need for Nipple Reduction Procedures

There is a surprisingly high number of women and men who feel their nipples are just too large or wide for their breast. Genetics usually accounts for this condition of large, prominent, protruding, droopy nipples. The form, balance, and symmetry of the breast often impacts how people feel about their appearance and typically causes problems in the selection of clothing and activities. Even though men and women live with it for years, today in our enlightened society they are realizing it can be corrected with a nipple reduction procedure. They can have a normal, attractive looking body and they have options to achieve this.
