Montgomery Gland/Areola Bump Removal Possible?

These bumps can be removed, and the scars would be very small.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds
of body contouring procedures and male breast reductions each year.
Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo
galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

A picture would be extremely helpful in your case. Glands can be removed in the office under local numbing medication. Scarring will be present, but can be hidden in folds and along edges of your areola depending on the location of the glands. Good Luck

Hi iSeeker,Thanks for the post. Montgomery glands can be removed with minimal scarring. Without a photograph it is difficult to advise more precisely. Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand

Yes, the areolar bumps can be excised or cauterized (burned). Consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.Best wishes

Thank you for your question.These can be removed by surgery, how ever a picture would be really appreciated in order to determine which procedure and techquine would be best for you.

Montogomery glands are normal. However if they bother you they can be removed, in my patients I use a punch biopsy instrument and close the wound. The scat depends on your genes and the color of the skin.Samir Shureih MD. FACSsshureih@msn.com
