Improve the Size and Shape of the Areola

Areola reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple) and improve the overall balance and appearance of the breasts.

Some individuals are naturally born with larger areolas, while others notice changes following pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or ageing. Areola reduction can create a more proportionate appearance and is often performed on its own or in combination with other breast procedures.

At Dr. Kristopher Ledding’s practice, every procedure is personalised to achieve natural-looking results that complement your individual anatomy.

Who May Benefit from Areola Reduction?

You may be a candidate if you:

• Feel your areolas are disproportionately large.
• Have stretched areolas following pregnancy or weight changes.
• Wish to improve breast symmetry.
• Are undergoing breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction.
• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations.

The Procedure

Areola reduction is performed by removing a small amount of skin around the outer edge of the areola while preserving the nipple. The remaining tissue is carefully reshaped to create a smaller, more proportionate areola.

The procedure may be performed on its own or combined with other breast surgeries.

Recovery

Following surgery, patients may experience:

• Mild swelling
• Bruising
• Temporary tenderness
• Minor discomfort

Most patients return to light daily activities within several days, with recovery progressing over the following weeks.

Results

Results are immediately noticeable and continue to improve as healing progresses. Incisions are placed around the border of the areola to help minimise visible scarring.
