Dr Barnouti explains the steps for breast areola reduction
Areola that is large (due to genetics or pregnancy) can be resized and reshaped as you desire with little to no visible scarring. Wide areola diameter can be reduced to match the rest of the breast tissue/nipple size and shape.
These procedures can be performed alone or in conjunction with breast augmentation or breast lift.
The Areola Reduction Procedure:
It is well tolerated under local anaesthesia as a day surgery. You can also have some sedation to relax you if you wish.
How Long Does the Areola Reduction Procedure Take:
It takes about 1-1.5 hours. You will go home the same day.
Location of Areola Reduction Surgery:
It is done at Australia Plastic Day Surgery in Broadway.
Healing Time After Areola Reduction:
The wound will take 7-10 days to heal.
The Scar After Areola Reduction:
The scar is placed around the areola. It will take 6-12 weeks to fade. We will provide you with “scar gel” to minimise your scaring.
