My Aerolas are covered in Montgomery glands. I know they are completely normal but having so many makes them unsightly. I would love to have some of the more noticeable ones removed if possible. Would this be something a dermatologist could do or a plastic surgeon? Also could this be a procedure that could be done while awake with just some numbing injections. I'm having a hard time finding answers or pricing info. They bother me so much because it looks like acne.

Answer: Periareolar resection for multiple Montgomery glands
Dear lknott,
if you want them removed, you will need to have a surgery. Scar prevention begins in the OR during the surgery when I meticulously close wounds in multiple layers in order to reduce tension and reduce scars width. I tape my incisions during the early postoperative period...
This problem can be corrected in local anesthesia with excellent result. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.
Hello! I recommend you meet in person with a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon. You will need a revision of the breast lift due to excess tissue in the lower poles (bottom of the breast). I believe once that is addressed, you will have a really nice result.
