Areolar reduction surgery
Improves the appearance of large or puffy areolas. Areola reduction surgery is performed by removing a circular area of the outer brown area of the areola. The skin surrounding area is then brought inwards in a purse string fashion to surround the areola. It can be performed alone, but is most commonly done in combination with either a breast reduction, breast augmentation, or breast lift.
