Why are my areolas so large? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. I do believe a breast lift would give you a smaller diameter areola as well as "lift" the breast as this basically "lifts and tightens" the breast tissue, picking up the nipple-areolar complex relative to the inframammary crease (crease under breast).  This aesthetically gives a more "centered" ,smaller diameter areola relative to the breast mound.  Breast lifts can also improve breast asymmetries.   I think you can do a breast lift at your age; however, one important thing to mention, that I tell all young patients considering a breast lift is the uncertainty of being able to breast feed in the future after having a breast lift. I hope this is helpful.  Good luck!

Genetics is the likely reason that your areolas are larger than average. Weight fluctuations may add to the diameter increase. You appear to be a good candidate for breast lift with areola reduction. Good luck.
