Procedure Details

This patient had very large and heavy breasts that were uncomfortable and she requested breast reduction surgery. Because of her size, short scar techniques such as a vertical breast reduction were not optimal. Using an incision around the areola, up and down, and underneath the breasts, breast reshaped to a size much more appropriate to her body. She healed beautifully, has minimal scars, and excellent functional improvement.

Areola reduction?

Many patients request reducing the size of the areola at the time of breast reduction surgery
It is often necessary as the diameter of the areola can be quite large in certain patients
An average diameter for the areola after surgery various from 4-5 cm
Using careful measurements, plastic surgeons will reduce areola to a more appropriate size.
occasionally after surgery, the areola size and shape can be a bit different. But over time, as the swelling resolves in the sutures underneath the skin dissolve, the size and shape normalize
