I hate my breasts because of how big my areolas are. It makes me feel really unattractive and effects my relationships. However, because they're so light I feel like the scar from the reduction would be very visible. What do you think?

Answer: Would an aerial reduction give me the results I want? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. The decision to pursue treatment always involves a benefit to cost evaluation. For you I think the scarring associated with an areolar reduction would not be worth the subtle improvement in areola size and symmetry.

Answer: Periareolar scarring Thank you for the excellent question. You are exactly right- this is the major trade-off with areola reduction surgery- the appearance of the final scar. This area does have a tendency to lead to scar widening or to a sunburst scar pattern, which can be noticeable. My recommendation is to ask you plastic surgeon to let you review photos from similar cases. This will help you determine if the surgery will give you the result you are looking for.
