Areola Reduction

Areola reduction is a straightforward procedure that removes a ring of areolar tissue through a circular incision, reducing the diameter to a more proportionate size. It is commonly performed alongside breast augmentation, lift or reduction, but can also be done as a standalone procedure.

Recovery is rapid and scarring is well-concealed along the areola border. The procedure can also correct areola asymmetry and is suitable for both men and women.

Key Benefits

• More proportionate areola size relative to the breast

• Quick procedure, often combined with other breast surgery
