Why is my Areola So Large?

Hi Bubble popI am sorry you are having such concerns. The size of areolas can be different and varied. It can sometimes take up more of the breast than the breast skin itself. This can be secondary to pregnancy or weight gain/loss but it can also be something that you are born with. This obviously would only become apparent during/ after puberty once the breasts start to grow and increase in size. There are surgical procedures available to reduce the size of the areola and mos to f these can be done under local anaesthetic. You would need to wait until you are 18 before you could undertake any cosmetic surgery for this. It is unlikely that this would be available under the NHS current guidelines for breast surgery as this would not be leaving you with a functional problem.Just remember, that what you have is totally normal. It is not a cancer and there is no 'normal size' as such. If you would like to have the areola reduced, then this can be done in the future. Once you become pregnant, your breast size can change and increase in size. This will also increase the size of the areolas at this time as well as darken their colour. Therefore, you might want to bear this in mind prior to embarking on any surgical route.I hope this is helpful for you.Kind regards Rohit SethPlastic, reconstructive, aesthetic and hair transplant surgery

Breasts come in all shapes and sizes and this includes areola tissue as well. Genetics play a large role in the look and shape of your breasts. Other influences can be hormones from puberty, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Weight gain and loss can sometimes also impact the size and shape of your breasts.

Your breasts are still developing, and will continue to do so for a few years. During this time, your breasts will most likely change in shape and size.
Large areolae are very common and are not typically indicative of a medical condition. However, if you’re particularly concerned please speak with your family doctor.

Thank you for your question.  I agree with my colleagues.  The enlarged areolar size is normal and nothing to worry about health-wise from your description.  As the breast grows with maturity, the areolae (or areolas) in some women will grow (diameter-wise) and "expand" with the growing breast.  This is something that potentially can be aesthetically addressed after final breast growth stops, usually after the age of 18.  I would recommend seeking consultation with one or several board-certified plastic surgeons at that time to see what your options are at that time.  Good luck!

Having areolas on the larger side when you have larger breasts is normal. A 36C at age 14 for natural breasts is quite full,  so again, it is normal for you to have wider areolas. Also areolar size is hereditary, and the sizes can vary from very narrow to very wide  with small or large breasts. Lastly, to clear up a misconception, having children can widen areolas in some women, but not an everyone. 
Since you did not provide a picture, I can only speak in generalizations.  There is a category where the areolas may appear large and “puffy” and usually this is a feature of a “tuberous breast”. This type of breast has specific features of the breast itself and not just the areola. Since you did not describe anything about that, I can only assume that your breasts are perfectly normal looking.  You may still grow for the next couple of years and I advise that you not worry about it at this point. 
If you are still concerned, or the size or shape of your breasts bothers you, I suggest you have a parent take you to see a board-certified plastic surgeon for an assessment and some reassurance,  although your family physician or OB/GYN would be fine as well.
