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: 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.

Answer: Areola reduction surgery Hello and thank you for your question. Medically healthy patients with a stable weight are the best candidates for this procedure. The incisions required to accomplish your areola reduction would be the same as a breast reduction or a breast lift (around the areola, down to the breast fold and usually also a horizontal component along the breast fold). This would not only reduce the size of your areolas but would also raise the nipples to a more youthful spot and make the breast position higher/perkier. If you also wanted your breast volume reduced (smaller cup size) this could also be accomplished in the same procedure). The best advice is to seek an in-person consultation and exam with a board certified plastic surgeon.
