Can I have just an areola reduction? (Photo)

February 13, 2024
Asked By:Compassionate767700 in Czech Republic, CZ

I spoke with only one plastic surgeon who told me the areola reduction alone would be impossible for my left breast (the size of the areola is 2.7cm from the edge to the nipple) because there would be a lot of pleating, but for the right it would work (2cm), so he suggested a lollipop scar on the left as well as fat grafting for the right. I was hoping I could get away with just an areola reduction, I like my breasts when the areola is shrunk. Is it doable? Shall I consult other specialists?
