What is Areola Reduction Surgery? 

The areola is the pigmented area surrounding the nipple, and its size and shape can sometimes appear disproportionate to the breast. Factors contributing to enlarged or asymmetrical areolas include: 

  • Genetics. 

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding. 

  • Aging or weight fluctuations.

​

Areola reduction surgery involves removing excess areolar tissue to create a smaller, more proportionate appearance while preserving the natural shape

The Procedure

Dr. Farrah Yau customizes each areola reduction procedure to address individual concerns. The surgery typically includes the steps mentioned below.

Consultation and Planning

A thorough discussion about your goals and a detailed assessment of your anatomy. 

Precise Resizing

A circular incision is made around the areola to remove excess tissue and reduce its size. 

Suturing for Symmetry

Specialized suturing techniques are used to reshape and secure the areola, ensuring symmetry and a natural appearance. 

Minimal Scarring

The incision is placed at the border of the areola, where it blends with the natural pigmentation
