I know you can have the size of your areolas reduced, but can you have it done at the same time as your breast augmentation if you opt for the periareolar incision. My areolas are already very large for my breast size. I know breast implants stretch out everything including the areolas, and I'm wanting pretty large implants.
Answer: Can I have my areolas made smaller if I have Breast implants through the periareolar incision? It is certainly possible to reduce the size of the areola in the appropriate patient at the time of a breast augmentation with a periareolar incision. Keep in mind that following the

Answer: Can I have my areolas made smaller if I have Breast implants through the periareolar incision? Yes, it is generally possible to reduce the size of the areola at the time of breast augmentation surgery. It will be important, as you consider decisions, to carefully weigh the pros/cons associated with areola reduction surgery. My best suggestion: select your plastic surgeon carefully. He/she will be able to educate you regarding the potential risks/complications associated with all options discussed. Best wishes.

Answer: Smaller areola Genreally the areola can be made smaller through a periareolar incision - and more specifically a circumareolar incision. Variables include the size of the areolas to start with, firmness of the breast before and after placement of the implant, and therefore implant size you chose. The larger the areola to start and the firmer the skin behind the areola - possibly due to a larger implant - the less they can be safely reduced. Or, they can be safely reduced but may lead to widened scars. So, yes they can often be reduced but this question is best answered in person by a board certified plastic surgeon experienced with this technique. Best of luck!

Answer: Making Areolas Smaller during a Breast Augmentation Areolas CAN be reduced in diameter at the time of a Breast Augmentation. However, any tension placed on the stitching would result in an expanded abnormal looking "star burst" appearance. For a scar to heal nicely it must be closed under little to no tension. If the areolae are reduced after large implants are placed the pressure of the implants on the breast skin pushes it forward like a sail resulting in slow stretching of the skin but especially the freshly operated on incision. Discuss this carefully with your surgeon to make sure you are not disappointed. Dr. Peter. A. AldeaMemphis, TN
