Orange County Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover - Is the nipple ever removed during breast enhancement surgery?

The nipple/areolar complex is rarely ‘removed’ during breast reduction or lift. With current techniques for breast reduction and lift, the nipple areolar complex is kept attached to the underlying breast tissue to provide blood supply. The surrounding skin is removed and tailored. Rarely would a ‘free’ nipple graft be performed, perhaps in a very large, pendulous reduction or in a situation where the blood supply is compromised.

For more information, contact Orange County Plastic Surgeon Dr. Sanjay Grover.
