My areolas are very different in size and it makes me extremely self conscious. I’ve read about surgerys and tattooing but are there any other ways?

Answer: Is there anyway I can make my areolas the same size? Unfortunately, if one has discrepancies in the diameter of the areolar from one side to the other, treatment is surgical. There does not exist a noninvasive method to reliably change the diameter other than perhaps tattooing. Unfortunately, tattooing would be difficult unless performed by expert hands. The classic improvement is performed with areolar reduction which is essentially removing an outer ring of the areolar on the side in which the diameter is largest. Unfortunately this does introduce a scar around the areolar which would not be present on the other side which introduces a different type of asymmetry. In the past, I have had some women request bilateral reductions so there would be a similar looking scar on each side. But in general, it is a compromise! Is the discrepancy in diameter that currently bothers you better or worse than the presence of a scar. The procedure itself is relatively simple anchor can be performed under local anesthesia should you decide to go that route.

Answer: Yes that can be achieved Thank you for your question. There is definitely a way to reduce the size of your areola. It is very common for men and women to come in and request this. You can do the areolar reduction either during local anesthesia, when you are awake, or during general anesthesia, when you are asleep. The stitches are dissolvable and the recovery and main post procedure is very minimal. I recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon to assess your needs and give an in person recommendation.

Answer: Is there anyway I can make my areolas the same size? The diameter of the areolas can be surgically modified and made significantly more symmetrical. However this will imply some scarring. Best way forward is to see an experienced and board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your case and best options, see photos of other patients who underwent the same procedure, etc.All the bestAndrea MarandoPlastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, Manchester and London, UK
