I have very large areolas. They are about 30 milimeteres in diameter. Is it possible to make them half as large as that?
Answer: Male Nipple Reduction Hi @SearchingForAnswers!Thanks for sharing the question. 30 mm for a male nipple areola is quite normal. Women tend to have nipple areolas hat are 42+ mm. Man Boobs (aka Gynecomastia) affects up to 65% of men! I guess it’s one of those things we don’t talk about but there’s some really easy options to get this taken care of permanently. There are typically two types of surgically correctable gynecomastia. The first, is the result of excess fat accumulation in the chest. The second, is more excess breast glandular tissue and less of a fatty component. Oftentimes, it’s a combination of these two and there are some really great options to manage these. If it’s mainly fat, we have a couple options the first is wide awake flash recovery liposuction which is very well tolerated, doesn’t require going to sleep (but you can if you want to) and the second is a non invasive option like CoolSculpting or CryoLipolysis which is freezing the fat cells.These are both great options for patients which primarily fatty gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia. The other group of patients we typically see, which is the majority, will have some fat but also a rubbery, more firm glandular component which tends to be centralized under the nipple area. For these patients, I like to use the Pull Through Technique along with liposuction. This involves a tiny incision away from the breast, concealed in an area of natural shadow, and through that incision we first liposuction all the fatty tissue and then use that same incision to remove the rubbery glandular tissue from behind the nipple. The scars are imperceptible and heals great. Both of these options lead to a masculine and flat chest surface that won't show through sweaters or shirts which is usually the main complaint I hear from patients with gynecomastia. Goodluck!

Answer: Areola Reduction in a Male According to official statistics, 36% of adult young men and 57% of older #adult men in the United States have this medical condition in one of the four grades. About 200,000 to 3 million cases of #gynecomastia are being reported every single year. So if you have #breast #enlargement and you feel you're an exception, please understand that 1 in 3 young adult #men and 1 in 2 older adult men are just like you and have breast enlargement. "Puffy Nipple Areola Complex" is among the most common forms of gynecomastia. This gland and/or adipose tissue accumulation can be located under the areola or can be slightly extended outside the areola, causing the areola to appear dome shaped.This form of #Gynecomastia can be found in all age groups but is more common in young adults.As each case is different, it is vital that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in male breast surgery. The surgeon should determine if you are a suitable candidate for male breast reduction by liposuction or glandular excision. It is also crucial to have a plastic surgeon who is well-versed in the gynecomastia condition can determine if there is firm breast tissue beneath the areola that is causing the nipples to project (which is often the case), and if so, how much of this glandular tissue can be removed to create a flat appearance.#PuffyNipple surgery generally takes only an hour or two, and the recovery time is short; sometimes less than a week. There is minimal scarring and the success rate is excellent. Therefore, patients who suffer from "Puffy Nipples", and who view it as an unaesthetic and unpleasant condition, may desire surgical intervention to correct the "puffy nipple" condition. Men who suffer from large #areolas may notice that after breast surgery, the skin of the chest muscles will tighten, causing the areolas to tighten and diminish in size. This is a result of the removal of glandular and/or adipose tissue.

Answer: Areola reduction Yes it is possible to do both procedures at the same time. However, most often I find that the it is best to do it separately. For on reason, sometimes when I anticipate two surgeries - the second one is not needed. When the skin retracts for example after liposuction of the breasts so does the areola (which is a skin appendage) which may satisfy your wishes.For males with very large breasts staged procedures (more than one procedure) may be required. For example, the first procedure may be liposuction, then several weeks to months later after skin contraction has occurred, a separate procedure is done to remove excess skin. By doing a staged procedure, often the final scars are less.

Answer: Large areola in men.
Yes, it is possible to minimize your areola. The procedure is termed a periareolar reduction. An small amount of skin around the nipple is removed. You will have a scar but it will should be located between the color changes of the nipple and usually heals well. Seek consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and view before and after pictures. Good Luck! Results should be easily obtained.

Answer: Large male areola
The male areola can be reduced very simply by a circumareolar incision under local anesthesia if gynecomastia is not present. If present, removing the gynecomastia tissue will usually diminish the size of the areola. The areola can be made to any size that you desire (there are aesthetic standards to use as a guide) and both permanent and absorbable sutures are used. Recovery is minimal. One complication could be recurrent enlargement.
