Self conscious about my areola size, Am I a candidate for areola reduction? (Photo)

Dear sxu95,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from areola reduction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, you can decrease the size of your areolae, but will need the vertical lift to also lift the breast. Otherwise, your areolae will stretch again.

Yes, from the photo you can get the size of the areola reduced, however it appears you need to consider a breast lift. The areola will be downsized as part of this procedure. Your breasts will also be lifted and excess skin removed. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

yes. removing the excess skin around the areola is possible but most patients will do this during a breast reduction or lift for symmetry. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon for advice .

Good luck!

Yes. You are definitely a good candidate for an areolar reduction and a lift. It also appears that your right breast is significantly larger than your left. This could be corrected by reducing your right breast size at the same time.
