Will areola reduction surgery leave scars? Where is the incision for areola reduction surgery?

Generally speaking, areola reduction surgery will not leave scars as long as good care is taken. However, this also has something to do with the level of the doctor, so friends who are considering this surgery must carefully choose the hospital and doctor.

There is a possibility of scarring. Areola reduction surgery requires extremely high technical skills from the doctor. If the operation is not performed properly, scars will be left after the operation.

For most patients, the incision can be greatly reduced and made more concealed, and even horizontal incisions and vertical incisions to the bottom of the areola can be avoided. Only a circular incision is made around the areola, and the incision marks are minimized to the area around the areola, making them very inconspicuous.

Traditional breast reduction surgery involves three incisions. One incision goes around the areola. Another incision goes straight down from the base of the areola to the inframammary crease. The third incision follows the natural curvature of the breast crease. After the doctor removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, the nipple and areola are raised to a higher position. The areola is usually larger due to the traction and needs to be reduced. The skin above the areola is pulled down and stitched around the areola to reshape the breast.

Areola reduction is done by drawing a circle with an appropriate radius (usually 1.5-2.5cm) with the nipple as the center. The circumferential areola skin outside this range should be excised, and the dermis and subcutaneous vascular network should be retained to prevent insufficient blood supply to the nipple and areola. A triangular piece of skin is excised from the outer circle in the transverse direction to reduce the radius to make it consistent with the radius of the new areola. Finally, the outer circle subcutaneous skin is slightly freed and sutured in place.

Areola reduction surgery is relatively safe, so many people now choose to have this surgery to make themselves more beautiful and more confident. However, it should be noted that the preoperative and intraoperative care of areola reduction surgery is important, but the postoperative care is even more important and will directly affect the effect of the surgery. Be a woman with healthy and beautiful breasts, and become a woman who exudes charm and confidence from the inside out.
