Have you ever felt self-conscious in fitted tops or avoided certain activities because of prominent, large, or puffy nipples?
At Amaris B. Clinic, we understand that the size and shape of your nipples can significantly impact your self-esteem and comfort. Nipple reduction surgery is a procedure designed to create more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing nipples.
Performed by Dr Ivan Puah, this precise procedure focuses on refining the nipple's size, projection, and shape to achieve natural-looking results that align with your breast shape and contour.
For women, nipple concerns typically develop after pregnancy and breastfeeding. These life-changing events could permanently change the nipple’s size and shape.
Some may feel that their nipples are too large, too long or too protruding, thus causing them to feel extremely self-conscious.
Nipple reduction surgery is a procedure designed to correct:
Female nipple reduction surgery is frequently performed with liposuction and fat grafting to the breasts for a complete transformation.
Women who benefit most from nipple reduction typically:
Feel self-conscious about nipple appearance in fitted clothing
Have physical discomfort from nipple friction against clothing
Seek nipple correction as a result of post-pregnancy changes
Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Desire improved symmetry and proportion
During consultation, Dr Ivan Puah will listen to the patient’s concerns, carry out a detailed medical history, physical assessment. He will also carry out discussions of aesthetic goals and functional preservation of the nipples, explain the options and outline what the surgery can achieve for the patient.
Female nipple reduction surgery is carried out under twilight sedation (not general anaesthesia). During the pre-surgery preparation, he will delineate new nipple dimensions.
During the 1 - 1.5 hour procedure at an MOH-accredited Day Surgery Center, the patient will be under twilight sedation and well-taken care of by the team’s anaesthesiologist and surgical personnel. Dr Ivan Puah will mark out the ideal nipple size and position.
Next, he will employ surgical techniques tailored to each patient's anatomical needs and aesthetic goals. Depending on the patient’s clinical condition, he may carry out wedge excision to maintain nipple projection while reducing size.
Care is taken to excise the tissue precisely while preserving lactiferous ducts where possible.
In some cases, circumferential reduction is employed to reduce nipple width and projection. In other instances, combining both techniques is essential to optimise the patient’s results. The patient will be discharged home the same day, with minimal discomfort.
Aftercare is relatively simple and Amaris B. medical team will provide clear instructions and support throughout the healing process.
Male nipple protrusion, also known as overly projecting nipple, is an aesthetic concern for men and often causes them embarrassment.
The most common complaint from men is that the nipple sticks out and is visible when they wear shirts. It is possible to reduce the size of the nipples and make them smaller and less conspicuous through nipple reduction surgery.
At Amaris B. Clinic, our forte lies in body and male chest contouring. Common male chest conditions that we have treated over the past 20 years include:
Men who benefit most from this procedure typically:
Feel self-conscious about nipple appearance in fitted clothing
Experience discomfort during physical activities
Seek improvement in chest contour and definition
Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Are in good general health with stable weight
During consultation, Dr Ivan Puah will carry out a detailed medical history and a comprehensive evaluation for the patient. He will also carry out discussions of aesthetic goals, assessment of chest wall anatomy and symmetry, explain the treatment options and outline what the surgery can be achieved for the patient.
Performed under twilight sedation for optimal comfort and safety, the procedure typically takes about 1 - 1.5 hours. Dr Puah employs surgical techniques tailored to the patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals:
In some cases, circumferential reduction is employed to reduce nipple width and projection. In other instances, combining both techniques is essential to optimise the patient’s results.
Dr Puah will work with the delicate architecture of the patient’s nipple, ensuring symmetrical results that complement his natural anatomy. Minimal incisions are strategically placed to be virtually undetectable once healed.
The patient will be discharged home the same day, with minimal discomfort. Aftercare is relatively simple and Amaris B. medical team will provide clear instructions and support throughout the healing process.
Male nipple reduction is often performed with:
Whether you are a man or a woman, your journey at Amaris B. Clinic is built on personalised care, clear communication, and surgical precision.
While nipple reduction is considered a safe procedure, Dr Puah believes in transparent communication about potential risks, which may include temporary changes in sensation, minimal scarring, or rare infection. His meticulous technique significantly minimises these risks.
Whether you're considering nipple reduction for cosmetic reasons or correction for functional improvement, we provide a confidential, understanding environment to explore your options.
Nipple reduction surgery is an elective procedure, therefore it is not covered under insurance or Medisave.
What affects the cost?
Your total surgical fees vary based on several factors such as:
We provide before-and-after photos privately during your one-on-one consultation with Dr Ivan Puah. You will be able to view anonymised images of actual patients who had undergone nipple reduction surgery.

We fully comply to ensure ethical patient communication, no unrealistic outcome promises and protection of patient privacy.

Nipples do not serve any physiological purpose in males. However, they can be sensitive to touch and may provide sexual stimulation. Research indicates that men have a dense network of nerve endings in their nipples, and stimulating this area can activate brain regions similarly to genital arousal [1].
You can expect some tenderness around the treated area, but these will gradually subside. Do follow the required post-op instructions as dispensed by the doctor.
You can return to work in 1 to 2 days after nipple reduction surgery.
