Nipple made smaller: Yes, nipples can be made smaller with plastic surgery. This can be by reducing the projection of the actual nipple or diameter of the areola or both. In fact, areolar size reduction is almost always performed in conjunction with a breast reduction but can also be performed as a procedure on its own.
