Areolar Reduction

A procedure to reduce the size of stretched or enlarged areolas (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipples)

areola reduction surgery in ireland at venus medical

Areolar reduction is a relatively simple procedure in which we reduce the size of one or both areolas (the dark or pink skin surrounding the nipples).

Some women are unhappy with the size of their areolas because they appear enlarged, stretched, puffy, or protruding. Changes in the areolas can occur after pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations. Sometimes, one areola is larger than the other, and an areolar reduction is done to create symmetry. 

To perform an areolar reduction, Mr Ahmad makes a doughnut shaped incision along the border of the areola. This ensures the scar is easily hidden. The new areola is secured in place with a permanent suture that prevents it from stretching. The skin is closed with dissolvable sutures. 

You can find out if you are a suitable candidate for areolar reduction during a consultation with our experienced consultant plastic surgeon at Venus Medical.
