What are Medical Options for Unattractive Montgomery Glands? I have read all available information online regarding Montgomery Glands and their "normalcy". All I know with certainty is that they make my otherwise attractive breasts highly unattractive. If this issue makes me self conscious enough not to want even my husband see this part of me, what are my medical options?

A: Montgomery glands can be removed Sometimes Montgomery glands can get enlarged, inflamed, or irritated. If there are a few particularly unsightly ones, they can usually be removed leaving only a tiny scar in the areola which is usually much less noticeable than the gland. This is a minor procedure that can be done in the office.

Whats Best when Considering Aerola Reduction? I'd like areola reduction and currently have 450cc high profile saline implants under the muscle. I'd sometime in the future also want my implant size reduced but for now only the areolas. Will the benelli lift spread the areolas more? Why does my surgeon say it won't and others say it will? Who is right?? Also, is my goal realistic without changing the implant size yet? Thank you

A: Benelli lift can reduce areolar size but only so much The Benelli lift removes skin around the areola to lift the breast or some of the areola itself to reduce it. But the pull of the closure acts to stretch the areola out as well. Which force predominates and how much the size can be reduced depends on the individual situation. You have to be physically evaluated by a plastic surgeon with experience to predict what results are possible for you.

Large, Puffy Areolas, Inverted Nipples, but Small Breasts-- is There a Procedure to Help? My breasts are a size 34A, but my areolas are about 6.5cm in diameter (they pretty much take up the entire breast). My nipples are also inverted-- these problems make me extremely insecure and self conscious. Is there a procedure out there for me? I'm only 20 and have a somewhat limited budget as a college student, but intimacy has become a huge dilemma, and I don't want to spend the rest of my 20s in hiding!

A: Breast augmentation and periareolar lift for correction of puffy nipples

It does sound like you have tuberous breasts. Breast augmentation and periareolar lift can help correct this problem The inverted nipples can usually be corrected at the same time. The tethering ducts are released and some method to hold the mipples out is used. A nipple piercing can be very effective at this.
