Reducing size and puffiness of areolas without breast lift?

Thank you for your question.Yes, areola reduction is possible and often helps correct the nipple puffiness.

To be sure, see two or more experienced,
board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are
a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

I agree completely with Dr. Furnas,  In the operating room when reconstructing or reducing breasts a very typical size for areola is 4.2cm.Good LuckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery

The puffiness of the areolas can be reduced with a donut mastopexy, also called circumareolar mastopexy or areolar reduction. The only scar would be around the circumference of the areola.A rim of skin is removed from the outer portion of the areola. A purse string stitch is placed to stretch out the areolar skin, flattening the domed contour. How much flatness can be achieved depends on the amount of breast tissue under the areola. Puffy areolas are often associated with tuberous breasts. Click on the link below to see a case of puffy nipples flattened with a donut mastopexy at the same time that the breasts are rounded with a breast augmentation.Good luck!
