I have always been insecure about my nipples size, I think they are too big. I want to go through a areola reduction but still unsure if I’m a good candidate 24 y/o
Answer: Breasts Your breasts are also large. You would do well with a breast reduction or least a lift. Without lifting the breasts, the areolar reduction will not hold and will stretch out again.

Answer: I think my areolas are way too huge, I want to get them reduced Thank you for your question and photos. It is a bit difficult to say without an exam or measurements. It sounds like you may like the nipple areola complex (NAC), to be smaller. Yes, I think that you can have this done. You may want to consider a lift. Each of the lifting techniques typically will involve an incision line around the NAC, (areolar reduction). The amount of lifting typically will determine the incision lines, (scars). Examples of the types of incision lines are; Doughnut, Lollipop, Anchor. The scars typically look most red at 4 months, and then better at 10 months. With a breast lift, you have the opportunity to make the NAC smaller. Most women want the NAC to be about 4 cm in diameter. Best to talk with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Together you will make a plan.

Answer: Areola size An in person consultation is best but from the provided photo it appears you are a better candidate for a breast lift. This would reduce the size of the areola as well as raise the nipple position and lift the breast. A risk with reducing the areola only is that the weight from the breast may restretch the areola tissue over time, potentially leaving you with the same concern you have now. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you who can examine you and recommend the best approach for you.
