Breast nipple enlargement used to be just a part of breast augmentation surgery. That is, the surgeon and the patient would decide to enlarge the nipples to match the new shape and size of the breast.

But lately, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported an increase in cases of breast nipple enlargement – in women as well as men!

Breast Nipple Enlargement - Why Do People Want It?

Majority of female Americans who undergo breast nipple enlargement say they want their breasts to look inviting. This inviting or “teasing” appearance is achieved by making the nipple look permanently erect.

But among American men, most opt for REDUCTION. These men say large nipples give them a feminine looking chest. The women who undergo reduction do so because they feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about having large, erect nipples during cold weather.

To date, reduction is still the more popular procedure (male plus female cases) compared to breast nipple enlargement.

Men who do undergo breast nipple enlargement are usually fetishists. They believe that large nipples are highly desirable, even in men.

Breast Nipple Enlargement - How Is It Done?

Unlike breast augmentation surgery, breast nipple enlargement is generally an outpatient procedure by itself. Although some surgeons inject silicone or collagen to enlarge the nipples, it is more normally done by taking some tissue from another part of the patient's body. Some surgeons use cartilage from the ear.

The tissue or cartilage is then added to the nipple to enlarge it. This makes many wonder if there are side effects. In general, there are none. But, rarely, complications such as scarring have been observed while the nipples heal.

Other rare complications are cases where the nipple reverts to its old size despite breast nipple enlargement surgery. Breastfeeding is also sometimes affected.

These complications, tough rare, are the reason why patients must be screened before being declared a suitable candidate for breast nipple enlargement surgery. If you are approved WITHOUT screening, go elsewhere.

The surgeon has to conduct a thorough anatomy of each nipple to know if the procedure will be effective and how he should proceed. This is something that can't be guessed by outward appearances alone, no matter how experienced the surgeon.

Breast Nipple Enlargement - Should You Do It?

This procedure is undoubtedly less complicated and relatively superficial compared to other types of plastic surgery. Your motives for undergoing surgery will determine if you're a good candidate, physically as well as psychologically.

If you're doing it to boost your self worth or because you lack confidence, then maybe you should think twice. Go to a surgeon who will consider the psychological as well as the physiological impact of your surgery.

Even if you simply want more enticing breasts or just want your breasts to look better, it would be good to consult a surgeon who is not only experienced in breast nipple enlargement surgery but also in the emotional impact of plastic surgery in general. A good sign of this is when the surgeon levels your expectations to ensure that you get the results you want.
