I've been extremely self-conscious about my breasts for a while now. I'm 18, 5'1", and I wear size 34/36C. The size of my breasts isn't what makes me uncomfortable. I don't care much for large breasts and my nipples aren't big. It's just the areolas that bother me so much. Is it normal? I'd guess the color is darker because of my skin tone. As of the size of my areolas, can it be fixed? If my breasts ARE saggy what can I do about them? Is it possible to get a rough estimate of the procedure/s total cost?

Answer: Breast Sagging. Thank you for sharing your question on RealSelf.com.You do seem to be sagging enough to discuss a breast lift. However, one picture is really not enough to give you a definitive plan.Large areolas are not abnormal nor is the dark color. A standard lift will reduce their size and give you a perkier appearance. The trade off is scars that will fade nicely over several years and are well hidden within bras and bathing suits.Costs will vary depending on the experience of the surgeon.See several experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons for their opinions.Dr Spies

Answer: Large Areola Hello,It is all very normal. If you don't like your areolar size, and would also like more perky breasts, then you would be a great candidate for a breast lift with asymmetric reduction to achieve better symmetry. This process will also reduce your areolar size very effectively. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specialize in cosmetic breast surgery.Best of luck!
