Do You Need an Areola Reduction with Your Breast Lift?

As we age or experience changes in life, the size, shape, and position of our breasts and areolas can shift. A breast lift is an excellent solution for restoring firmer, more youthful breasts. However, if you’re also dissatisfied with the size or placement of your areolas, adding an areola reduction to your breast lift could provide a more complete transformation.

At Farris Plastic Surgery in Dallas, Dr. Zachary Farris, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, is known for his personalized approach to care. He focuses on customizing procedures to suit the unique needs and aspirations of every patient. Recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, Dr. Farris combines advanced techniques with an artistic eye to deliver balanced, natural-looking results. Adding an areola reduction to your breast lift can enhance the overall harmony of your appearance, helping you confidently achieve the look you desire.

What is an Areola Reduction?

Areola reduction focuses on resizing or reshaping the areolas to improve their proportion with the breast. This may involve reducing the diameter of the areola or repositioning it for a more symmetrical, centered appearance. 

Over time, factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, or weight changes can stretch or alter the areolas, making them appear out of proportion. When performed alongside a breast lift, areola reduction creates a seamless enhancement, addressing both the shape of the breast and the appearance of the areolas for a cohesive result.

Why Add an Areola Reduction to Your Breast Lift?

Combining these procedures offers multiple benefits:

• Proportion and Balance: A breast lift reshapes and raises sagging breasts, while an areola reduction ensures the areolas are sized and positioned for a harmonious look.
• Streamlined Recovery: You’ll minimize downtime and recovery time by addressing both concerns in one surgery.
• Natural, Youthful Results: Pairing these procedures delivers a complete enhancement, ensuring both the breasts and areolas look proportional and rejuvenated.

Patients sometimes worry that adding an areola reduction might complicate the procedure or extend recovery time. However, with an experienced surgeon like Dr. Farris, these procedures are seamlessly integrated for optimal results.

Are You a Candidate?

• You’re unhappy with the size, shape, or position of your areolas.
