Areola Reduction
An areola reduction consists of the plastic surgeon creating a periareolar incision on the bottom half of the areolae, followed by the removal of excess nipple tissue and application of dissolving stitches. This procedure is employed upon men and women to shrink the size of the nipple in order to align it with the patient’s desired chest aesthetic.
Areola Repositioning
During areola repositioning surgery, your best in class New York board certified plastic surgeon creates an incision around the areola and the areola is moved / reshaped to a different position. This procedure is commonly employed upon individuals with irregularly shaped nipples inherited through genetics.
During your initial areola reshaping consultation, you will discuss your post-procedural goals with the plastic surgeon. He will explain your procedural options for areola reshaping and will break down each step of your chosen procedure. Areola reshaping is a highly customizable procedure and each patient works with the plastic surgeon to achieve their dream chest. Areola reshaping surgery is commonly performed in conjunction with a breast reduction, breast lift, breast augmentation, or FTM / MTF Top Surgery.
Your areola reshaping procedure takes place at the Breast Reconstruction Center of NYC’s private surgical suite located in Manhattan, New York. The plastic surgeon utilizes local anesthesia to ensure optimal patient comfort and incisions are carefully placed along the edge of the areolae to ensure minimal to no scarring.
