Hello: I have had three consults for a areola reduction and I have been left with a few questions. For reference, my areolas are about 2.5 inches and I am hoping more for the 1.5-1.7 range (full c breasts) One doctor suggested a crescent approach, but I am confused how that will actually deacrease the size of my areolas? Can someone explain? Real self doctors in other's posts mentioned a permanent stitch, but all three doctors I went to advised against it because of the risk of it ejecting. What is the risk with that? I originally booked the procedure with the doctor who suggested the crescent, but now I'm thinking about canceling. To be honest, I am very frustrated with all the different information floating around.
I had an areola reduction surgery over a year ago and now they look exactly as they did before, but with a scar. I feel like it was a 5k wasted and incredibly disappointed in the results. What more can I do?? What other options are there??
I had a breast augmentation 3 years ago. Although a nice result the one breast is higher than the other and also the areola is slightly bigger and lower than the other. This was existed previously but me as well as the surgeon did not notice. Is areola repositioning possible? How safe is this in terms of scarring and areola and nibble sensation.
What are the odds that the areola will stretch out again if a permanent stitch is not used? Would it be worth doing this surgery? Alternatively, would making the breasts bigger help the areolas look more proportional (mine are about 2 inches in diameter)?
1 year post op and I see that there is excess areola tissue present around my areola. I am happy with the size but the excess pigmentation around the areola make it seem larger than what it is. I have read numerous answers that state that this is a straightforward procedure. Should it be done in the office setting? Or are there less invasive procedures that still produce good results. I have a very physical job and am concerned with navigating time off to address this issue. Thank you in advance.
Im fine with how my breasts look besides my areola. They are positioned too low however, I dont want a break lift, or anything else like that, and I also do not want visible scarring, or a weird, unnatural look/ feel towards them as well. Is this possible? I am only 19 years old and Ive always had breasts like this since age 15. Thank you.
My breasts have been like this ever since I began to develop breasts but they actually have got puffier as time went on and the right one is starting to sag now. I am now 28 and very self concious about them. When I am cold they shrink and no longer are puffy. When cold, the size difference between the two areolas are also not as severe looking. When cold my areolas look a lot closer to the same size. My breast shape also changes and they become more perky and round in shape when cold- I wish they could look like this all of the time. As far as the size of my breasts go- the size is perfect. I wouldn't want my breasts bigger or smaller. I'm happy with the size of the left areola (the smaller one) besides the puffiness, but even the puffiness on it is not nearly as bad the right one. What is causing the puffiness and difference in size in areola? What could I do to fix this in the least invasive way?
Hello, I have always wanted to do my breasts. I am so sad of being not confident in my body. Is it possible to do a lift and areola reduction or wait till I finish having kids?
I am 21 years old and have tubular breast and I have wanted to get them corrected since I was about 14. I am wondering if it is possible to get an areola reduction and release the constriction of the breast first and wait to get implants later on?
