Can an Areola reduction be done under local? A plastic surgeon told me that doing this surgery with local anesthesia can have adverse results (fills the area with liquid making it more difficult?)

Answer: A simple areola reduction can be done under local anesthesia Assuming it is only a small areola reduction, it should be amenable to having it done under local anesthesia. The local anesthesia does inflate the tissues a bit but the markings are done before.

Answer: Procedures under local anesthesia Areola reduction can definitely be done with only local anesthesia. Most plastic surgeons aren't trained in it or used to doing it but any breast procedure including breast reduction or even mastectomy can be done with local anesthesia as the entire chest can be blocked with anesthetic injections. This is usually done with IV sedation but is still local anesthesia and is easier on the system, less risk, and less cost.
