Would I be a good candidate for an areola reduction? What are the chances that they will stretch out more? (Photo)

Question

My birth control caused significant growth in the size of my areolas as well as ptosis of my breasts. I am not worried about the sagging because I wear a size 34A bra. I just really want them smaller.

Dear atlsag99,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

You can consider areola reduction, however a lift is needed in order to address the ptosis.  With a lift and small implant you could get your breasts closer to your "before" photo.  It would also address the asymmetry.  There is a chance that the areola could restretch after the reduction.  I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to further discuss your concerns and learn more about your options.

You would do well with a breast lift to lift your breasts, make you more even, and reduce the areolae. Otherwise, your areolae may just stretch out again.

Consider this alternative.
