Nipple reduction, before and after
Long, wide or puffy nipples can rub, show through clothes and make you self-conscious. Dr Braham Ouali reduces them under local anaesthetic, as a day case, for one or both nipples, in men and women.
Leave your details and the clinic will call you to arrange a free video consultation. He will talk through what you would like to change and give you your exact price.

Is this you?
Nipple reduction reduces the height, width or projection of the nipple for a more proportionate, balanced look. It suits men and women, and can be done on one nipple or both. These are the reasons people usually give.
You need to be over 18, in good physical and mental health, and have realistic expectations. Not everyone who asks is a suitable candidate, and Dr Ouali will tell you straight if you are not.
Patients
“Many thanks for the good job you have done. I also appreciated the relaxed manner which put me at ease.”
“I had three moles removed from my back by Dr Ouali, it was a good painless experience and I’m happy with the result as the scars faded away nicely.”
“I had a small amount of Vaser liposuction under my chin. Quick, painless surgery. I’m very happy and will be going back for additional procedures.”
Your surgeon
Dr Braham Ouali is a UK-trained, award-winning surgeon with more than twenty years of experience. Since qualifying as a doctor in 1999, he has completed a decade of NHS plastic surgery training in the UK and earned a Professional Diploma in Skin Cancer Surgery from Bond University, Australia.
He has personally performed tens of thousands of surgeries, and is particularly known for skin surgery and body contouring, including gynaecomastia, areola reduction and breast mini lift. He performs every operation himself.
Cost
The package price for nipple reduction starts from £895, which includes the surgery and follow-up after surgery. The price you are quoted at consultation is the price you pay.
What happens
It starts with a free video call with the surgeon, not a sales appointment with someone who does not operate.
A video call with Dr Ouali. He talks through what bothers you, explains what he would do, covers the risks, and gives you your price.
Nothing is booked on the call. If you go ahead, a 50% deposit holds your date, or you can pay in full. Face-to-face beforehand can be arranged, and is charged separately.
Around 45 minutes, under local anaesthetic. Excess nipple tissue is removed to reduce height and width, any asymmetry is corrected, and the area is closed with dissolvable stitches.
Rest for the first 24 hours. Most people are back to light daily activity within a few days and can shower after 2 to 3 days. Avoid strenuous activity while it heals.
The part most adverts leave out
However minor a procedure is, complications are possible, and you should understand them before you go ahead. Dr Ouali will go through all of this with you before you decide anything.
Mild pain, swelling and tenderness around the nipples are common in the first week. The recognised risks are:
Whoever you choose, these are worth asking:
Questions
Yes. The video consultation is with Dr Ouali himself, it is free, and there is no obligation. If you would rather be seen in person before you decide, a face-to-face appointment can be arranged, and that one is charged separately.
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort or sensitivity is normal for a few days afterwards and can be managed with pain relief.
Both. Nipple reduction can be done on one or both nipples, in men and women.
Yes. It is often combined with a breast reduction, breast lift, breast augmentation or gynaecomastia surgery. When it is combined, a general anaesthetic may be recommended.
Most people keep normal sensitivity. Some temporary numbness or tingling is possible, and it usually settles within a few weeks as the area heals.
Usually not. The typical return to work is 0 days. Rest for the first 24 hours, and most people are back to light daily activity within a few days. After your follow-up appointments, the clinic's aftercare nurses are still available for advice and reassurance throughout your recovery.
They are generally long lasting. Significant weight changes, pregnancy or hormonal changes can slightly alter the appearance over time.
You pay a 50% deposit to hold your date, or the full amount if you would rather settle it in one go. There is no in-house finance.
The clinic
A day-case clinic set up for procedures under local anaesthetic. Your consultation is by video call, so the only visits you make are for the surgery itself and the follow-up.
Next step
A video call with the surgeon who would do the procedure. No cost, no obligation. If nipple reduction is not the right answer for you, he will say so.
