I want a tiny areola and a lifted look. Like the last I photo attached. When I pinch the circumference of my areola smaller I like the look, and the breast looks lifted as well. Is an areola reduction all I would need to achieve this affect? Also would the size (30F) of my breast cause stretching because of the tension? What prevents stretching Would I need a breast lift? I'm against the breast lift because the results I've seen ruin the shape and roundness of the breast.
Answer: Lift with areolar reduction Based on your goals, I would recommend a breast lift (mastopexy) which would result in a lifted breast with a higher position and reduced size of your nipple-areola. To achieve this, you would need wise-pattern (or anchor) incisions. If you generally like the size of your breasts (ie, do you like they look in clothing in a supportive bra), then you may only need a breast lift/mastopexy (versus a reduction). For these patients, I do a tissue sparing technique, which essentially an auto-augmentation, conserving all of your breast tissue, but lifting the overall breast and bringing the nipple-areola to a higher, more aesthetic position. I typically use an absorbable mesh with this procedure to create an internal support bra and maintain the results over time. Hope this helps. Best of luck with your aesthetic journey!

Answer: Breast I would recommend an anchor-pattern style breast lift with slight volume reduction. This will help reduce the areolar and overall breast size while also contouring shape.

Answer: Areola Reduction Thank you for your question. Areola reduction can reduce the size of the areolas; however, to achieve a lifted breast appearance—especially with larger 30F breasts—a breast lift is often necessary. This procedure elevates the breasts to a more youthful position and creates a firmer, more aesthetically pleasing contour. I recommend consulting with a surgeon to discuss your goals and concerns. They can provide personalized advice on how to achieve smaller areolas and a lifted appearance while maintaining the shape and roundness of your breasts.

Answer: What procedure should I get to have smaller areola? A breast lift/reduction will help not only in your areola diameter, but help with symmetry, shape and proportion. I properly performed mastopexy can result in a very nice shape and will help meet your expectations. There will be the standard "anchor" scar. Generally speaking, the satisfaction rate is high with these procedures. Definitely avoid a peri-areolar, donut lift or areola reduction surgery as there are problems with these procedures . . .

Answer: Minimizing Stretching and Achieving a Lifted Breast: Exploring Areola Reduction and Lift Options For achieving a smaller areola and a lifted appearance, here’s what you need to consider: Areola Reduction: An areola reduction can indeed make the areola appear smaller and can sometimes give a more lifted look. However, if the breast skin has lost elasticity or there is sagging, areola reduction alone may not fully address the lift you desire. Breast Size and Stretching: With a larger breast size like 30F, there is potential for skin stretching, especially if the tissue is heavy. This can lead to issues with skin laxity and breast shape over time. Preventing Stretching: To minimize stretching, maintaining skin elasticity is key. Proper skin care and possibly incorporating fat grafting to add volume can help. Ensuring that the breast tissue is well-supported post-surgery can also prevent excessive stretching. Need for a Lift: If the areola reduction alone doesn’t achieve the desired lift or if there is significant sagging, a breast lift might still be necessary. However, there are various lift techniques, and some may preserve the breast’s shape and roundness better than others. Consultation: Discuss your concerns with a surgeon who has experience with areola reduction and lift techniques. They can provide a detailed plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals and help you explore options that minimize shape distortion.
