Is it possible to reduce the areola size with a laser instead of cutting and surgery? im thinking of getting liposuction to get my breast smaller and reduce the areola size as well. theyre too big for my frame im 5'2 with 38c. Thanks
Answer: Nonsurgical areola reduction There is nothing at the moment that would safely reduce the size of your areolas without surgery. Lasers alone would be highly risky.

Answer: Areola Reduction Can Only Be Done Through Surgical Means
Unfortunately there’s no way to reduce areola size without surgery. Current methods of treatment all involve circumferential excision of the border of the areola to reduce areola size. In some cases, the laser can be used as a surgical tool to assist in the process, but this does not decrease scarring.
The procedure can be done as a stand alone procedure, but is more commonly performed in combination with breast augmentation/lift, breast lift or breast reduction. It’s important to realize that areola reduction is frequently associated with adverse scarring because of tension on the wound closure.
Breast reduction utilizing liposuction wouldn’t address the excess skin associated with breast hypertrophy. This would result in an increased incidence of skin sag following this procedure.
If you’re considering breast and areola reduction a more traditional procedure might be of benefit. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon might be a helpful next step. Consultation should result in a better understanding of your options.

Answer: No Such Non-surgical areola reduction
Unfortunately, it is impossible to significantly reduce your areola without a surgical procedure. Fortunately it is easily done often with just local anesthesia as an office procedure.

Answer: Nonsurgical Areola Reduction Surgery
There is no method of Nipple Areolar reduction without a surgical procedure. Furthermore, if liposuction is used to reduce the breast size you will still be forced to deal with sagging skin due to loss of breast volume and skin elasticity.

Answer: Areola Reduction?
Thank you for the question.
Areola reduction involves circumferentially removing areola skin around a smaller areola design. This procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia. It is often done as part of a brest augmenation/lift, breast lift or breast reduction procedure.
Patients should be aware that despite best efforts scarring will be visible and potentially abnormal ( possibly thick, raised and/or pigmented). Some areola asymmetry may also be present after surgery. Their is a small chance that a patient may lose sensation.
As with all plastic surgical procedures, patients must weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks/complications while making decisions.
You will be best served to seek treatment by a board-certified plastic surgeon (check with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons) who can demonstrate a significant level of experience with the procedure you are planing. You can ask to see his/her before-and-after pictures and to potentially meet with patients who've had similar surgery.
I hope this helps.
