I am latina, olive skin tone and tan easily. Will the aerola reduction scar be very noticeable? I seem to heal well based on my previous breast augmentation with was through crease...I just really still want my aerolas reduced. They are so big.

Answer: Areolar scars generally heal quite well
The scars from an areolar reduction usually heal quite well because the skin is fairly thin. This may vary depending on a patient's ethnicity and skin tone, but the scar is ultimately partially camoflauged by the round border of the areola (circle).

Answer: Areola reduction scarring
The way you scar after an areola reduction depends mostly on two things: 1) your personal scarring history (some darker skinned individuals are prone to keloid formation) and 2) the degree of tension on the closure. As long as you do not have a personal history of keloid formation, and there is no large implant being placed that will place the areola on significant tension, you should heal just fine!
