I talked to a surgeon and he told me he doesn't know if I can even get a lift with nipples of my size...he said they cover too much surface...

Answer: Breast Lift and Large Areolas You can certainly get a breast lift which will reduce the size of your areolas. Occasionally a small amount of the pigmented areola tissue that would normally be removed has to be left to avoid excess tension on the skin. That is best determined at the time of surgery. It can be removed later if it is an issue. I would recommend doing the lift first and then coming back at a second operation to add implants if you would like more volume.

Answer: Lift You can have a lift, but you may still have somewhat larger areolae. They can be made some smaller though. Go visit with another surgeon.

Answer: Management of Large Areolas Based on this photograph, it would be challenging to completely reduce the areolas using conventional methods. You may do best with a staged, or 2-step surgery to lift the breast and reduce as a first stage and then augment and reduce more as a second stage. With good tissue re-positioning, an implant may not be required, and with advanced technique, a single stage intra-areolar reduction could produce a good result. You would need to review all of these options with an appropriately credentialed surgeon in order to choose the best option for you. Good luck!
