How can my areolas get smaller?

Question

I am 15 years old and I want to get my areoles decreased in size. I don't mind having surgery but I don't want my parents to know

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You will want to wait until you have finished puberty before considering this surgery.  If you proceed too soon there is a chance that your results will change.  As you are legally a minor you would need consent in order to have elective plastic surgery.

Thank you for your question. At 15 years old you will need your parent's consent to undergo Areola Reduction surgery. I would advise waiting until you're 18 to consult with a certified plastic surgery regarding this procedure. Best of luck to you.

Allen Gabriel, MD, FACS · Answer

You are too young to be considering areolar reduction.  Your breasts may still be growing and this may cause further enlargement of your areola.    You have to consider the size of your breast and areola.  If you have larger breasts and if they interfere with activity then you may consider breast reduction when you are done growing as this will also reduce the size.  I recommend seeking out a board certified plastic surgeon when you turn 18.  Be patient.

If you don't want your parents know, wait until you're 18. Before then no surgeon can examine you or treat you without your a parent's consent. The procedure that reduces the size of the areola is called a donut mastopexy. Click on the link below to see a case.

As a 15 year old minor, you will require your parents consent to undergo areola reduction surgery. If you would want to undergo surgery, you will have to let your parents know how you feel about your situation. Thanks for your question. Best wishes.
