In general, about how much? (Specifically areola diameter loss can be achieved, not how much lift).
Answer: Areola reduction Hello! On average an areola can be reduced to around 4-5 cm in diameter. In order to fully answer your question, I would recommend that you have an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Thank you and best of luck!

Answer: Often areolas can be reduced to a 4 cm diameter I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of former patients with similar measurements. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what procedure is right for them.

Answer: Donut Mastopexy The less the better. When this lift or areola reduction is pushed to its limit, that is when you have poor healing scars and widening of the scars over time.In general reducing the diameter to a final size of 38-42 mm is the "normal" average areola size. If you are starting with an areola that is much larger than this then caution is take as the size gets larger. I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.Hope that helps.

Answer: Donut lifts Some of these lifts work out well but many poorly. Trying to reduce the areolar diameter doesn’t always hold in the long term. And the scars can be pretty bad. I haven’t performed the donut lift in years. A lollipop type lift is better option.

Answer: Areolar reduction So a donut mastopexy is basically a bad operation, IMO. You are sewing a big circle to a small circle. The more of a mismatch, the worse the scar. So if it is minor, the scar is OK, but why do all that work plus add a scar for a minor change? When you do a real lift, you buy a vertical scar but now make the circle a 1:1 ratio, so the scar quality is better. And the vertical scar usually does well over time.I hope this helps! Good luck!
