Areola reduction surgery is often sought out by individuals who are dissatisfied with the size, shape, or symmetry of their areolas. The surgical technique involves removing a precise amount of tissue from the outer border of the areola to achieve the desired size and shape. Delicate care is taken to maintain proper proportions and symmetry, ensuring natural-looking results.
There are many reasons why someone might want to reduce the size of their areolas or improve their appearance. Common reasons why patients might undergo this surgery are proportional imbalance, post-pregnancy changes, asymmetry, or post-weight skin stretching in both men and women. It can also be used to shift the nipple or areola up to a higher position and adjust other height asymmetries.
Areola reduction offers many benefits that can improve confidence, comfort, and overall breast appearance by reducing the size of large or disproportionate areolas, thus creating a more balanced and harmonious breast look. Our Charlotte areola reduction patients enjoy benefits such as:
Ideal candidates for areola correction surgery are those looking to address disproportionately large, uneven areolas. Candidates should be in overall good health, understand the likely outcomes of the procedure, and be free from any serious medical conditions that could hinder the healing process.
During a consultation for an areola reduction Charlotte plastic surgeon, Dr. Ferrari, will take the time to ensure that he understands your aesthetic goals and individual needs. If you decide together that areola reduction surgery is the best option for you, Dr. Ferrari and our team will create a personalized treatment plan. You will also be given instructions on any preparations needed prior to surgery.
Areola correction surgery is often performed using local anesthesia and sedation, but general anesthesia might be used, especially if it is performed along with other procedures. Dr. Ferrari will make precise incisions, adjust the skin, and place sutures for optimal healing. The entire procedure usually takes no more than one hour.
Many Charlotte areola reduction patients are concerned about scarring. Dr. Ferrari will make very delicate incisions around the areola to ensure that scars will be as discreet as possible. Areola reduction scars are inevitable, but they will be minimal and will fade over time, blending in with the edge of the areola.
While every patient is different, most are able to return to daily activities in just one to two days. Full healing typically takes around six weeks, and final, permanent results are usually visible around four to six months.

This procedure has become more common over the years and is also frequently used alongside breast surgeries such as breast augmentation or breast reduction.
After an areola reduction Charlotte patients typically experience some mild soreness or tenderness, but it is very rarely painful.
When performed by a skilled surgeon, this is a low-risk procedure, but as with any surgery, possible side effects could include bleeding or infection. While, in rare cases, this procedure could potentially result in nerve damage, the procedure only involves the removal of a very thin layer of skin, and none of our Charlotte areola reduction patients have ever received any nerve damage or any loss of nipple sensation.
No, areola reduction for men is commonly performed, especially for those who have had significant weight loss or who are self-conscious about the position of their areola.
This will depend on how significant the changes are and exactly what method is used for reduction. If you plan on breastfeeding in the future, you should discuss this in your consultation.
The cost of areola reduction depends on the extent of the surgery and the needs of each patient.
