How Can I Get Smaller Areolas Without the Puffiness?

I do not have tuberous breast, nor do I have kids. I wear a size D bra but my aerolas are always big and puffy, yet when they constrict they go from a half dollar size to a nickel size and look perfect. Also, my skin is very thin and you can see the veins in my nipples when they are not constricted. Is there anything I can do to make them look permanently constricted? I am 25.

A: Areolar Reduction is a Possibility

I’m not sure what you mean when you say your areolas are ‘puffy.’ Based upon the picture you provided, I would not describe your areolas as ‘puffy’, but instead as normal.

You could consider an areolar reduction -- but given your breast size and weight, skin quality, and absence of breast skin laxity this will have to be performed utilizing a technique to reduce the risk of scar widening. An areolar reduction will produce a more defined areolar border and the natural variegated color transition from areola to breast skin will be lost. Your evaluation will be important for understanding your specific concerns, and for evaluating your areolar size and tissue characteristics. Then your surgeon will be able to present appropriate options and make the best recommendation for you.  Best wishes.

Is Areola Reduction Surgery a Good Idea in This Case?

I am 20 yrs, 100 lbs, no pregnancies, and have 30DD breasts with aerolas of ~6.5 cm. I am often annoyed with my breast size b/c it seems disproportionate to my frame, but am particularly unhappy about the large, stretched out appearance of my areolas. I have been considering breast reduction, but have recently discovered that the possibility to just reduce areola size, which would be much less expensive and might help aesthetically. Am I a good candidate for such a procedure?

A: Areolar Reduction Surgery

You certainly can consider areolar reduction surgery. In a young person of your age with a firm breast and elastic skin this surgery will require a bit more attention to prevent post-operative scar widening. It will be important to perform adequate undermining to reduce tension on the closure, and use a permanent purse string or similar suture to securely hold the areolar diameter and prevent widening of the periareolar scar. Not only will this procedure reduce the size of your areola but it should also improve areolar symmetry and position. Speak to a plastic surgeon who is an experienced breast surgeon to decide if this is right for you.

Nipple Revision After Breast Lift and Augmentation i had my surgery on 3/11/10 a lift with augmentation. since then my left seems to be larger than my right and my nipple placement is off which it was not before the surgery. is there anyway to correct this or will they even out within the next few months. i dont want one larger breast than the other and my right nipple sticking out of my shirt as it does now.
A: Nipple revision

Typically from 5 to 7 cm is acceptable from the bottom of the areola to the fold.  you like like you are between 5'6" to 5'9" and somewhere between 110 and 130.  You left implant is high and both implants in my view of aesthetics are wider than necessary for your chest.  I have done many revisions and removing those devices and placing smaller device will help.  The skin can be adjusted in the fold with horizontal skin excision.  At that point it needs to be decide how to address the nipple position on the devices and the folds have been set properly.  This can be done via small skin excsions around the areola to give better shape and decrease the height of the nipple on the breast slightly.
