I'm 18 years old and my weight has fluctuated dramatically in the passed two years weighing as little as 100lbs which is a far cry from my current 146 lbs. I have currently began being intimate with my bf and feel too shy to take off my bra. I don't know what procedure to get to gain confidence in my breasts. I don't mind the drooping as much as the areola size and shape
Answer: Areola reduction You will not get an adequate result with areola reduction alone. The nipple would still point downward and the degree of gather that would be required to get the large circle to close around the small new areola would leave a pretty significant and gathered scar with a tendency to spread and widen. You would do much better with a formal mastopexy. The size of the areola may make this a somewhat complicated procedure, depending on the amount of unpigmented skin you have beneath the areola. The margin between a great and poor result in cases such as this is slim. I would recommend you see an expert in the field. Certainly a board certified plastic surgeon but beyond that, one that does a lot of breast lift surgeries with excellent outcomes. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast lift vs areola reduction The majority of my patients who have nipples at the lowest point on their breasts wish to have a full breast lift rather than just a reduction in areola size. A plastic surgeon could describe the different types of breast lifts in detail and their expected outcomes.

Answer: Areola reduction enough? It's important to understand that even with an areola reduction, there will be scars placed on your breasts to surgically reduce the nipples. All scars fade with time, but I would suggest that if you are going to undergo an operation, you should have the operation and associated scars which are going to give you the most aesthetically pleasing breasts, which in my opinion would be a breast lift with areola reduction. An areola reduction alone will not likely give you a happy result. I would also encourage you to maintain a steady weight prior to surgical intervention as large fluctuations in weigh such as what you describe can have dramatic changes on your postoperative results. Best of luck!

Answer: Should I get a breast lift or is an areola reduction enough? Thank you for your question. Of course you need an in person exam and consultation for the best answer.However based on your photos I would guess that you will need a breast lift and that areola reduction will not give you the best result.
