Areola Reduction Surgery in London

The Nipple and the Areola

The nipple consists of two parts, namely the areola and the nipple. The nipple is the pointy up-right
part and the areola is the darker area around the nipple.

 

The Areola Reduction

An average areola is approximately 4.5 cm in diameter. A large areola can easily be corrected under
local anaesthetic.

Sometimes a large areola goes together with the sagging of the breast. If you want to have a breast
reduction or a breast lift done, the areola may be reduced at the same time to the desired size.
An areola reduction can also be performed without additional surgery. Through an incision in the
outer part of the nipple of the areola, the pigmented skin around the nipple or areola is removed.
This procedure may leave a small scar around the areola.

An areola reduction does not cause any problems with future breast feeding.
