What Do These Procedures Do?
Nipple and areola reduction procedures are designed to address concerns related to the size and proportions of these features. For individuals with naturally large areolas or stretched skin causing enlarged areolas, this procedure can effectively reduce their size. Additionally, for those with large, long, or wide nipples, these procedures can reduce both their length and girth.
What Do These Procedures Not Do?
It's important to understand that nipple and areola reduction procedures focus on addressing size and proportions. They are not intended for other breast-related concerns such as breast augmentation or lift. It's essential to have realistic expectations about the outcomes, as these procedures are specifically tailored to change the appearance of the nipples and areolas.
