What is the ideal nipple size?

  • img
  • Ideal Nipple and Areola Size

    In theory, the ideal nipple size is when the average diameter is around 10mm and the average height is around 8mm.
    An ideal shape is a nipple-to-areola ratio of 1:3.

Types of Nipple Reduction Surgery

V Type Incision

The remaining area on both sides is reduced after resecting the head of the nipple into a v-shape.
(Depending on the height of the incision line, the width, height, and volume of the nipple can be reduced.)
