Areola reduction surgery focuses on reducing the diameter and size of the areolas, which are the pigmented areas surrounding the nipples. This procedure aims to create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing breast appearance by resizing large or stretched areolas.
Nipple reduction surgery, on the other hand, specifically targets the nipples themselves, reducing their length or size to achieve a more desirable appearance. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who feel self-conscious about elongated or enlarged nipples.
Both areola reduction and nipple reduction procedures can be performed alone or with other breast surgeries.
