Areola reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves reducing the size and/or changing the shape of the areola, which is the area located around the nipples. The average diameter of the areola is 4.7cm, but this may vary depending on the individual’s gender, height and breasts size. Women whose areolas are too large often feel concerned about the look of their breasts. The areola may also appear too domed or more oval than circular. Surgery can help reduce the areola to average size, which can help improve body image and self-esteem. Areola reduction surgery is performed as one-day surgery under local anesthesia, so you will be able to go home once the effect of the anesthesia has worn off.
This procedure helps correct the abnormalities that affect the shape and size of the areolas, including :
When performed without any other surgeries as a solo procedure, areola reduction surgery for men is actually a minor surgical procedure. Local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or conscious sedation can be used depending on each case.

When the excess pigmented skin is excised, then small stitches are positioned to hold the new areola into the skin around it. Areola reduction surgery reshapes or decreases the size of the areolas to help attain a more attractive, more masculine chest. Even though it is a pretty minor procedure that only takes about an hour or two to perform, it can have a huge positive effect on a man’s confidence and self-image .
