Nipple Enhancement Surgery is on the Rise says LA Doc
We women don’t have it easy. We juggle careers, family, personal lives. We are largely responsible for childcare, even as we maintain full-time careers. And, yet despite our intellectual and social capabilities at being able to multi-task efficiently, we have a habit of doubting and downing our physical selves while doing it. I mean, I can list all of my flaws and shortcomings, from my fine hair to my bony ankles. It’s horrible, I know, yet I’d bet that if we were to get together, it wouldn’t be long before the conversation came around to each of us delineating what we think is physically wrong with us. We rip ourselves apart and blame our breasts, butts, thighs, stomachs, hair, knees – pick a body part – to bemoan for its imperfections. We do it when we’re alone; we do it when we’re with friends. A typical lunch conversation among three friends might go something like this:
“I have a wedding to go to in three weeks and I’m postponing shopping for a dress because I need to lose 10 pounds. There is no way I’m going to fit my rear end into an evening gown.”
“Come on, you’re beautiful. Ever since I had my son, I’ve had this pouch that I just can’t get get rid of. I work out at the gym, do hundreds of crunches. Nothing. It’s still there. I’m thinking of talking to a doctor about lipo or a tummy tuck.”
“Oh, stop! You look fabulous! And besides, you can hide your stomach under a jacket. You will find a dress and will look great at the wedding. But look at me. When did I get these lines around my eyes? I look like a sharpei. I wake up every morning and they’re worse than the day before.”
And yet, despite my (perhaps self-perceived) obvious and not so obvious shortcomings, I never considered that there might be something wrong with my nipples. (Do I now add those to the list?)
So when I received a press release from board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Grant Stevens about the facts and figures of nipple enhancement surgery, I – forgive me – perked up a little and just had to share. At first, I was miffed and slightly insulted. Then I became amused and then I thought, hm, maybe Dr. Stevens has a point, or, er, two. And, in the interest of possibly bettering your lives – or at least your nipples – here you go …
According to Dr. Stevens, founder of Marina Plastic Surgery Associates in Marina del Rey, CA, “Millions of women suffer with nipple and areola abnormalities such as inverted, enlarged or extended nipples, and puffy, enlarged or discolored areola. Many of these conditions can impact breast function, but they all impact the way women feel about their bodies,” he added.
Dr. Stevens had so many requests for nipple repair that he created a website http://www.nipplerepair.com where women (and men) can go to choose the perfect nipple. (You can see how I became intrigued, right? The prospect of electronically tweaking your own nipples is just too, too – oh hell, insert your own adjective in here. I’m, frankly, speechless.)
According to Dr. Stevens, there are various nipple conditions including:
Nipple inversion – a disfiguring condition that affects two percent of all women. The degree to which a nipple is inverted will vary from “shy” to severely retracted.
Enlarged nipples can be corrected with simple outpatient surgery reducing the length or diameter of one or both nipples.
Reducing enlarged areola is a quick fix as the areola can impact the appearance of the breasts more than any other feature.
“Puffy” areola put a cone-like cap on the breasts that some people find unattractive. A simple surgery can flatten the areola and beautify the breasts. .

Loved this article and your blog. Dr. Stevens is performing a much needed service — and giving new meaning to “nip” and tuck.
Thanks, Posy, for your comment. Glad you liked the post. (Damn! Wish I’d thought to work in “nip” and tuck somewhere in the body of the article. Thanks for doing it for me!)
So interesting!
