About Areola Reduction Procedure

An areola reduction procedure is one of the most common ways to address the pigmented areas surrounding your nipples. The areolas vary in shape, color, and size, and so over time, many people experience problems with breast appearance for a variety of reasons. Dissatisfaction with the way your breasts look is common and so areola reduction is a simple way to balance the look of large areolas.

It is common for both men and women to enjoy the results of an areola reduction procedure. However, for women, the results can be further improved by coupling procedures, for example, a breast lift and areola reduction commonly address the problematic issue of ample breasts sagging with age.
