Areola reduction and breast augmentation at the same time, is it possible? (Photo)

Question

I had 4 pregnancies and breastfed 2 of my kids for 2 years each. As the result my boobs are deflated and pretty saggy. I am planning on having implants and if necessary breast lift to make them beautiful again. One of my concern in i have big areola and i figured that after implants the skin probably will stretch more and make the areola look even wider (oh no!) Is there a way to make them smaller in size and i am thinking maybe i might as well have the implant incision there?

Hello,You could likely have both of these procedures together. I recommend that you book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your goals and learn about options. All the best

Areolar reduction is a standard part of the type of breast lift you need along with some small implants.  I would perform the lollipop type lift with implants.  You are an ideal,candidate for that procedure and the scars heal beautifully.

These two surgeries are typically performed together with excellent results.  Would recommend that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed numerous restorative and aesthetic breast surgeries to discuss your options and as well as your concerns.Kenneth B.

Thank you for your question. Yes, it its possible to do both procedures at the same time. We just have to look the size of the breast implant that you need and usually the areola should be about 3.8 or 4 cms, your areolae are much bigger than that so it would be good to reduce the areola and place breast implants.I hope my answer will help you to your question.Before undergoing any surgical procedure, please seek a board certified plastic surgeon

Thank you for your question.

Yes, this is possible and quite often done together.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Thank you for your question and photo. Based on your photo, you are a great candidate for a vertical scar lift and augmentation. This will reduce and reposition your areolae. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Austin Hayes, MD · Answer

It's a great question and the answer is yes.  A breast implant can make the areola larger. It's possible to reduce the size of the areola during an augmentation surgery or during an augmentation/lifting surgery.Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgery during your consults. They will discuss all of your options.

Payman Danielpour, MD, FACS · Answer

what you're describing is very common and frequently same time. A breast augmentation is performed through the same incision that the areola reduction surgery is done. I believe that you need a lift as well which incorporates reducing The areola size and lifting it so I think that you will get exactly what you're looking for if the operation is planned properly. I wish you the best of luck let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. This way, you can explain your concerns and find an option that fits you. An in-person assessment is always best.

Hello Rimmy. Breast implants and areola reduction can be combined safely, in most cases, to achieve both goals. Keeping the breast implant size to a reasonable volume will help as a bigger breast implant will lead to greater tissue stretch and reverse some of the areola reduction effects. Seek a board certified PS. Best, Dr. Aldo
