I am considering having a breast lift but am concerned about a potential reduction in aerola size. Most of the “after” photos I have seen seem to indicate a significant reduction in the person’s areola size. Is it possible to retain areola size or will a breast lift always result in a small areola?
Answer: Areola size after breast lift Hello, thank you for your question. Yes you can indicate to your plastic surgeon that you want a somewhat larger areola. The reason we make them on the smaller end is because over time it will expand and stretch out. Its difficult to predict the size so we approximate it. You can add to the scar with scar camouflage if you choose to make it slightly larger afterwards. Speak to your plastic surgeon to see what your options are.

Answer: Areolae You can request that your areolae be of a certain size when you go for a lift. Do remember that sometimes skin, including the areolae, will stretch during the healing process.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. The areolas can be any size you desire. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Areola size after lift Unusually larger, ptotic breasts have larger areolas. However, unless areolas are very large, it is possible to keep desired size in the process of breast lift. This needs to be discussed with your plastic surgeon ahead of surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Size of areola after breast lift - Is it possible to retain areola size There are a range of areolar diameters that are considered aesthetically balanced with breast diameters. In many cases where women have large areolas, it is suggested that they be reduced. This is not mandatory and your areolas can be retained completely, if this is your preference. This is normally discussed during a consultation with your surgeon as he or she reviews the procedure and your options.
