Areola Reduction in a Male?

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.

     It is possible to reduce the size of the areolae in a short procedure under local anesthesia.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of body contouring procedures and male breast reductions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
