What is an Areola Reduction?

Whether from genetics, age, pregnancy or significant weight loss, the pigmented area around the nipple, known as the areola, can become enlarged or out of proportion. 

Areola reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure to reduce the areola’s size, adding proportion and enhancing appearance. To achieve the desired results, excess tissue is removed from around an incision on the outside of the areola. It can effectively treat areolas that are enlarged, protruding, stretched, puffy, or asymmetric.
