This 37-year-old mother was unsatisfied with her small breasts and prominent nipples after breastfeeding her 2 children. When she found the Los Angeles breast enhancement specialists at Marina Plastic Surgery, she was wearing a 34A or 34B bra and was eager to talk about her options.

First she met with our medical team, who evaluated her body and medical history and discussed her goals. In addition to wanting larger breasts, she also wanted to address concerns about her large nipples. The Marina team has a lot of experience with nipple repair in Los Angeles, as well as a strong foundational understanding of how this small feature can have a big effect on a woman’s self-confidence. Sometimes large nipples can also be very physically uncomfortable.

Common procedures include correction of inverted nipples, areola reduction, or treatment of puffy areolas. This patient’s surgeon performed a nipple reduction to decrease the size of the protruding nipple. She also got augmentation with 475 cc cohesive gel implants, sometimes called “gummy bear” implants, placed under her muscle through an inframammary incision in the natural fold under her breasts. As is clear from her photos, the surgery was highly successful in increasing the size and shape of her breasts while decreasing the size of the nipples. She says she loves her pretty, full breasts.
