Areolar reduction is rarley neseccery
This is an important point I would like to make:Areola reduction should rarely be done.I have performed thousands Male Breast Reduction Surgeries over 30 years and I can't remember when I have performed areolar reduction,yet the vast majority of my patients were happy with their results and the post surgery areola size,even when it was large prior to surgery. I did fine that when an adequate excision of the gland and adipose tissue plus an adequate thinning and defatting of the areolas...

Areolar reduction
I do not perform areolar reduction at the same time as gynecomastia surgery. The complication rate for simultaneous areolar reduction and gynecomastia surgery is logrythmically increased. Areolar size is reduced by the gynecomastia surgery.

Gynecomastia Surgery and Areola Reduction
Thank you for the question.
Both of these procedures can technically be done same time. However I have found that correction of gynecomastia and areola reduction surgery done at the same time does carry increased risks compared to either one of the procedures done separately. This increased risk is related to decreased blood flow to the nipple/areola.
Sometimes the areola shrinks enough with the gynecomastia surgery that the areola reduction surgery...

The areola will shrink as a by-product of male breast reduction
You may very well not need a formal reduction of the areola. Removal of the breast tissue is often accompanied by a decrease in the diameter of the areola.

Areola reduction with Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can most definitely be performed at the same time with areola reduction. Performing both procedures simultaneously will not add to the recovery time of either procedure.

Gynecomastia surgery with areola reduction
The best technique for the correction of your gynecomastia ultimately depends on the quality and location of the excess tissue on your chest. If the extra tissue is central on your chest or just underneath the nipple, this may be corrected with a simple incision around your areola. You can combine this surgery with an areola reduction at the same time. Keep in mind that an areola reduction will create a scar completely around the areola and a scar will be more noticeable than...

Male breast reduction will reduce areolas.
Hi.
1) If your areolas are just a little wide, simply getting rid of the gynecomastia will make them shrink. This is enough for most patients.
2) If they are really wide, then they are reduced as part of the male breast reduction, with a circular scar at the edge of the nipples.

Areolae reduction in Gynecomastia repair
It is very common for the areolae to unintentionally shrink when performing male breast reduction. This can be observed in the attached youttube video.
However, a surgeon must exercise caution in reducing the areola circumferentially because this may compromise the blood supply to the nipple and areolae.

Male breast reduction with areola reduction
Hi, male breast reduction can definitely be done with a simultaneous reduction of the areola. If you are young and your skin is of good quality, though, you may not need it if your skin retracts after suction of the excess breast tissue. Good luck, /nsn.

Areola reduction can be done with Male Breast Reduction
We are seeing more and more patients in our office interested in male breast reduction. There are several things that may be done including liposuction of tissue, direct excision of breast tissue, a small breast lift if needed, and yes, areolar reduction. Be sure to see a plastic surgeon that is familiar with all of these techniques and performs them regularly. Good luck.

Male Breast Reduction with Areolar Reduction
It is possible to perform these procedures simultaneously. Without a photo, it is difficult to comment on its appropriateness. My usual recommendation would be to do the gynecomastectomy alone initially. The areolar reduction can always be performed later, but might add an unnecessary scar if there is significant reduction of the areola following gynecomastectomy alone.

Male breast reduction
Male breast reduction can be performed in many different ways. Some can be handled just with liposuction. Others may need some breast tissue removed from an small incision under the areola, still others may require resection of gland and skin with reducting the size of the areola.

Male breast reduction along with areolar reduction
The answer is yes but it depends how the resuction is performed. Enlarged male breasts may by just a small amount of breast tissue, breast tissue and fat, breast tissue, fat and skin with or without drooping. The reduction may be very simple or very complex. Most techniques will allow you to have an areolar reduction at the same time.

Male Breast Reduction can be done with areola reduction
Of course. But, it would depend on the way your chest and breasts look.
I would recommend visiting the American Society of Plastic Surgeons www.plasticsurgery.com for the listings of colleagues in your area.
Good Luck.
