Have a breast augmentation soon - wondering about areola revision

Adding an areola size reduction to your breast augmentation procedure is a feasible option, and it's something you can discuss with your plastic surgeon during your preoperative consultations. The decision to perform additional procedures during the same surgery will depend on various factors, and your surgeon will assess the feasibility based on your individual case.

Here are some considerations:

Surgeon's Expertise:

The feasibility of adding an areola size reduction will depend on your surgeon's expertise and comfort with combining procedures. Some surgeons routinely perform multiple procedures during the same operation, while others may prefer to stage procedures for safety reasons.
Surgical Time:

The addition of an areola size reduction may add some time to the overall surgical procedure. Your surgeon will need to evaluate how much time it would take and whether it can be accommodated within the same surgery.
Anesthesia:

Combining procedures may affect the amount of time you spend under anesthesia. While breast augmentation itself is a relatively short procedure, additional procedures may extend the total duration.
Recovery:

Combining procedures may also impact the recovery process. Your surgeon will provide guidance on postoperative care and any modifications to your recovery plan.
Safety Considerations:

Patient safety is always a priority. Your surgeon will assess whether combining procedures is safe and does not compromise your well-being.
It's important to communicate openly with your surgeon about your goals and concerns. If you are unhappy with the size of your areolas and wish to have them reduced, discussing this during your preoperative consultations is the best approach. Your surgeon can evaluate your individual case, discuss the potential risks and benefits, and provide guidance on whether combining procedures is a suitable option for you.

Remember that the decision to add on a procedure will depend on multiple factors, and your surgeon's recommendation will be based on their assessment of your unique situation.

At the time of breast augmentation, a circumareola approach can be used to shrink the size of the areolas and place the implants. The other alternative is an areola reduction with an inframammary fold incision to place the implants.
