Am I a Good Candidate for Areola Reduction Surgery? (photo)

I'm 19, weigh 145 pounds, and am in good health. My areolas have always been very large. They are not very circular and are more oval-shaped and I was wondering if that would be a problem for areola reduction. Also, I feel my breasts are very droopy for my age and was wondering about maxoplasty as well. I would rather not get a breast lift, but I've noticed that my breasts have gotten less perky over the last few years.

R Areola Reduction Surgery?

Thank you for your question and for the attached photo. You seem to be a good candidate for a breast lift, and that procedure would include the areolar reduction. An areolar reduction alone would entail what is usually called a peri-areoloar, or Benelli lift. Than would reduce your areolar size and remove some excess breast skin, but would leave you with nipples and areolas that are too low. A vertical lift might be enough to get a better result, and that would add a vertical incision... more
