I am a 23 year old male and I'm having serious self confidence issues due to the actual size/diameter of my aereola around my nipple. I had surgery for gynecomastia 6 years ago, and whilst the surgery removed the puffiness of my nipples, the actual diameter is still really big. I'm quite slender in frame now and my nipples look really odd. Is there anything that can be done to actually reduce aereola size, considering I've previously had gynecomastia surgery? Kind regards.

Answer: Male areola reduction
Quite often the size of the nipple/areola complex are reduced at the time of the procedure for macromastia ( the more acceptable term for males, rather than gynecomastia). It sounds like you got a good result from your procedure. Now all you have to do is get your surgeon to do a relatively minor procedure using local anasesthia to mak e the areola smaller. Depending on the amount of pigmented tissue there is the final result should be areola who size fits your self image. If there is a lot of pigmented tissue you may initially have some gathering of the skin around the areola, leaving a wavy appearance to the skin. This will become flattened with time.
In any event, you need to be seen in person by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to assist you in making a decision as to what is best for you. I hope that this is helpful for you . Jon Sattler, MD Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Glendora, California.
