Areola reduction. Can this be done in the office? Could I do it right away? (Photo)

Since you are still in the early stages of healing, I would suggest that you wait 6 months for your breasts to fully heal and drop/settle. Then, speak with your surgeon about an areola reduction if they are still bothering you. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well... I have to say that you're still on healing process and it is too soon to make some changes to your primary surgery, I would suggest you to wait about 5 to 6 months until your breasts have settle and completely healed, hugs!

At this point since you are early post-op, you want to allow the tissues to heal. I would likely wait about 6 months or so and if the areola are too large, then they can be reduced.

You have several issues going on here.  The reduction of the areola will allow for symmetry and a more aesthetic areola but realize you do not know how you scars will heal for 6-12 months- they may ultimately become barely perceptible, thickened, dark, or very white.  I personally think that smaller areola are more aesthetic and with the  reduction you should be able to achieve symmetry as well.  The issue of the breast tissue sagging down will likely be helped but it appears as though you had a sub muscular implant rather than a summary implant so this problem will not be fully resolved by areolar reduction.  A sub muscular implant does not fill the subcutaneous pocket fully, especially if the muscle is not fully detached.  The nerves will take up to a year to recover and sensory nerves can recover for a life time, so you do have potential for the normal response of your nipples that you had previously to return to baseline, but it may not.  This is the risk of surgery in this area.  The bumps are the ducts for the breast milk so if you remove these you will interfere with your ability to breast feed. Everyone has these, they are normal.
