I am going in for a breast lift in a few weeks and one of my main concerns is the size of my areolas. I would like them smaller, preferably the size of a quarter. Is this feasible and if so what should I request as far as size in diameter?

Answer: SEE VIDEO BELOW: Breast lift (mastopexy) to achieve small and reduced areola
In order to achieve a definitive redcution inthe areola size, you will most likely require a vertical lift. Althoug the areolas can be set at this size initally, it may be difficult to predicit the long term resutls and this may reuquire revision af 6-9 months. THis is easier if done without an implant whcih can stretch out the reduced areola as they settle.

Answer: Areolar diameter can be controlled to some degree
Hi there-
Definitely communicate your goals with your surgeon, who would then be better able to tailor the procedure to those goals...
Realize however, that there is a limit to how much the areola can be reduced without causing detrimental change to the overall breast shape and proportion.
