I have oval areola's how to fix it? (photos)

Question

When my nipples are soft they are round and when they get hard they go into a really long oval shape, how to change it? They have been this way my whole life I’m 18 years old, I would love for them to have a circular shape to them when they are hard and soft First 4 pictures are what they look like when hard and then the other 3 pictures are when they are soft and last 2 pictures are photoshopped one showing what my dream nipple size would be like when they are soft and hard

It is very reasonable to expect results you created if you decide to have surgical correction. However, to achieve smaller and round areola you will have to accept scar that goes around areola. In person consultation and discussion about your goals and options is recommended. Good luck.

Hi, thanks for your question. You could have nipple areolar complex (NAC) reduction if all you wish to change is the shape of your nipple areolar complex. However, remember that natural NACs are not perfectly round. This could be combined with a breast reduction / uplift depending on what you wish to achieve with surgery.

Dear Isbellaa18,in order to change shape, you will need areola reduction surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and Daniel Barrett, MD

Hi and thank you for the question. Yes you definitely can change both the size and shape of your areolas. It's one of the easier breast procedures we do, and is typically performed in the office under local anesthesia. Find a plastic surgeon near you who has a great reputation for cosmetic breast surgery. Best of luck.

Thanks for your question.Taking a look at your photos I believe you would be suitable for an areola reduction and possible a mastopexy depending on what your desired result is.Looking at your desired photoshopped image, an areola reduction alone could acheive this however there will be scarring involved so it is worth researching this part of the procedure. I tend to use whats called a 'lollipop' scar for areola reductions where the scar will run around the edge of the areola and down the center of the breast. Incisions that just run around the outside of the areola are possible but can be prone to stretching so revision surgery may be required again to fix it. Hope this helps

With a minor surgical procedure, you should achieve your “dream” shape.  Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person evaluation.
