Areola Reduction Turkey - Redo Plastic Surgery

What is a Areola Reduction?

Areola Reduction is a straightforward surgical procedure that decreases the size of the areola for a more proportionate look. The most common technique involves removing a donut-shaped ring of pigmented skin from the outer perimeter of the areola. The remaining skin is then carefully sutured to the surrounding breast skin, creating a new, smaller, and neater border. The procedure is designed to leave a discreet scar around the new areola edge that fades significantly over time.

Who is it for?

Areola reduction is an ideal procedure for healthy men and women who: Feel that their areolas are too large for their breast size. Have stretched or “puffy” areolas, which can occur after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or due to gynecomastia in men. Desire improved symmetry between their areolas. Are self-conscious about the appearance of their areolas and seek improved confidence. Are often having the procedure in conjunction with a breast lift or reduction.

Benefits of the Procedure

This targeted procedure offers highly satisfying results: Aesthetic Gains: Creates a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the breasts and nipples. Psychological Gains: Delivers a major boost in self-esteem and body confidence, allowing patients to feel more comfortable and less self-conscious. Minimal Downtime: A simple yet effective procedure with a very quick recovery period. Enhanced Results: Perfectly complements other breast procedures like lifts, reductions, or augmentations.

How is it Done?

Your areola reduction at Redo is a procedure defined by its precision. Consultation: Your surgeon will discuss your desired size and assess your anatomy to ensure a proportionate and natural outcome. Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed comfortably under local anesthesia. Surgical Technique: A circular marker is used to outline the new desired areola size. The surgeon removes the outer ring of areolar skin, then uses fine, meticulous sutures to secure the skin at the new, smaller perimeter. This technique helps to minimize scarring. Duration: The entire surgical procedure usually takes about one hour.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery from areola reduction is fast and requires minimal downtime. First Few Days: Mild soreness, swelling, and bruising are normal but subside quickly. Most patients can return to work and light activities within 2-3 days. Week 1: Your key follow-up appointment for suture removal will occur around day 7. Weeks 2-4: You should avoid strenuous chest exercises and any friction on the area to allow the scars to heal properly. Aftercare: You will be given specific instructions for keeping the area clean and for scar care to ensure the incision line fades as much as possible.

Is areola reduction painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so it is not painful. Post-operative discomfort is very mild and easily managed.

Will the scar be very noticeable?

The incision is made around the border of the areola. While there will be a scar, it is designed to blend in with the natural change in skin color and texture, and it typically fades very well over time.

Can this be done at the same time as another breast surgery?

Yes, it is very commonly combined with a breast lift, reduction, or augmentation to achieve a complete and harmonious breast enhancement.

Will it affect my ability to breastfeed?

Areola reduction does not typically affect the milk ducts or the ability to breastfeed, but you should discuss any future pregnancy plans with your surgeon.

How long until the final result is visible?

The new size is visible immediately, but it can take several months for the scar to fully mature and fade and for any minor swelling to completely disappear.
