Areolas can be a sensitive topic for women, and while a woman’s Areola does not define her as a person, how she feels about them can impact her confidence and self-esteem. Areolas can be made larger because of genetics, weight gain, breastfeeding, and other factors. It can also expand and stretch with age as breasts sag.
Here’s what you need to know if you’re thinking about getting nipple or areola reduction:
Areola reduction surgery is a simple outpatient procedure that can reduce the size of one or both of your areolas. The excess pigmented skin is simply cut away, leaving a smaller and more appropriately shaped areola. If desired, the height of your nipples can also be reduced.
Areola reduction is an option for anyone who is dissatisfied with the size of their areolas. This procedure is effective if you’ve lost a significant amount of weight and have stretched areolas as a result. It is also effective if your areolas have changed as a result of pregnancy or breastfeeding. People with puffy or protruding areolas are also good candidates. Some people choose to have one of their areolas reduced to match the other.
However Areola reduction surgery should not be performed on women until their breasts have finished growing, which is usually in their late teens or early twenties. Adolescent males may be able to undergo this procedure at a younger age.
