Areola Reshaping
Areola
The areola is the darker skin surrounding the nipple and is an important part of the breast’s appearance. Some women have very large or prominent areolas. Even with larger breasts, this can affect their overall appearance. Reshaping the areola to a suitable size can greatly improve the appearance of the breasts as a whole. Generally, a large areola does not cause health problems or pose a health risk, but it can affect a person’s appearance when undressed, making them feel less confident about their body and proportions.
Surgical Procedure
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The wound may be closed with absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes relatively little time (about 1 hour). It does not affect nipple sensation or the ability to breastfeed.
Correction
1. The surgeon removes excess areolar tissue and sutures the area to the desired size. At first, the stitches may look puckered, but these folds will gradually flatten and disappear, leaving a smooth result.
2. The surgical approach depends on how large the areola is and where the incision is placed. The incision can be made around the outer edge of the areola or around the base of the nipple.
Recovery
- You can return to work as usual in 1–2 days.
- Avoid smoking for 2 weeks after surgery.
- Apply anti-inflammatory ointment to the wound morning and evening.
- If anything unusual occurs, such as heavy bleeding or the nipple becoming very dark, return immediately for a medical examination.
- After 7 days, return to have your stitches removed as scheduled by the doctor.
