Are my areolas too large? (Photo)

Question

I think that they are grossly huge and I hate my boobs. I also think if I did not have tan lines they wouldn't be that horrible... My cup size is a 34D

The areolas may be a little disproportionately large, but your breasts are very pretty even with the areolas. leave them alone.

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Hello,Thank you for your question. Areola size can typically be reduced with a type of breast lift procedure- involving an incision all the way around the areola. I recommend that you meet with a board certified plastic Surgeon in person to discuss your options.All the best

Shim Ching, MD · Answer

Your areolas could be reduced, which most surgeons feel would improve their appearance.  Please seek a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.

George Volpe, MD · Answer

The diameter of ones areolas vary dramatically and whether they are too large or too small is a matter of preference. One standard often used in plastic surgery is 4.2 cm although this is a very general standard. If you think your areolas are too large, they can be decreased in size somewhat within areola or reduction technique. This will place a scar all the way around the areola is a donut of skin is removed. Smaller changes are the norm, your changes are a bit more complicated.

Breasts come in all shapes and sizes and yours are normal.  However if you are unhappy with the size of your areolas they can be reduced through surgery.  Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Tassos Dionisopoulos, MD · Answer

your breasts have an asymmetry that falls within what is normal. the areola on the right is slightly on the larger size and i understand your observation and question. having said that however the real question is whether to perform an operation to improve the look and of course it would involve both breasts. surgery involves scarring, risk of complications and sometimes an outcome that one may not be happy about. my recommendation is to leave well enough alone.

Chad Robbins, MD · Answer

Yes, your areolas can be reduced to be more proportionate to your breast size.  Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
