Areola ReductionAreola reduction and areola surgery are procedures for making changes in the size, shape, and symmetry of the areola. This is the pigmented circular area of the breast with the nipple in the center. There is a broad spectrum of many different colors, sizes, and shapes of areola. They may be very light in color with an indistinct border and flat, all the way to very dark, irregular and puffy and with many degrees in between. The areola may also be very puffy as in the tubular breast. Areola surgery involves reduction of the size (the diameter) of the areola, or making different size areola the same, or making puffy areola flatter. This is a relatively small procedure that can be done under local anesthesia and is very rewarding to the patient. It is often performed on men and women alike. Most patients are disturbed and live with these features for years and did not realize until now that areola deformities could be treated.
