Can a Breast Augmentation Be Performed After an Areola Reduction?
I'm considering altering my breasts, but want to see what an areola reduction looks like before I commit to a breast augmentation. I think that the relative proportion/placement of the areola to breast is part of why they look small right now. Is it possible to do the areola reduction first, or is that advised against as the implants will inevitably stretch the skin? If I were to get an implant, it would not be drastic: just one cup size bigger. My breasts are currently a 34 C. Thanks!

Breast enlargement will stretch our breast tissue, including the areola
Adding volume to a breast stretches out the entire breast skin, including the areola. The amount of stretch depends on the size of the implant used.
