One of the questions I sometimes get when I do breast reductions and breast lifts is whether I can make the areola (the pigmented area in which the nipple is at the center) smaller.

Almost always I can.

This is an example of a lady who had old malpositioned breast implants, and a lot of soft tissue ptosis (medical for droop). She also has large areolas. She also had had a recent breast biopsy (which was benign).

I exchanged the implants for silicone breast implants (which I medialized), did a lift, reduced the areolas, and was able to incorporate the biopsy scar. This is at six weeks.

For more information on breast lift (mastopexy), see my website.
