What is the best age for areola reduction?

Areola reduction is a very popular plastic surgery project among adult women. It achieves the purpose of making the areola look more delicate by removing excess tissue. Let’s take a look at the suitable age for areola reduction surgery.

It is recommended to do this surgery after the age of 22 and not too early.

The best age for areola plastic surgery is after the age of 22, because at this time the female's breasts and body development have matured, and the shape of the areola has begun to become more normal. If areola plastic surgery is performed before adulthood, the development of the areola may change.

1. Surgery is not recommended during menstruation, pregnancy, or lactation within 6 months.

2. Having infectious diseases or other body inflammation;

3. Surgery is not recommended during menstruation or breastfeeding.

It usually takes 3-6 months to fully recover.

After the areola reduction surgery, the stitches will be removed in about 7-10 days, and the swelling will go down in about 7 days. It will take more than three months to fully recover. For individual patients, due to differences in their physical constitutions and the postoperative care they receive, the final recovery time will vary greatly.

1. The wound area should not be soaked in water within one week after the operation to prevent infection. The surgical area should be kept clean after the operation.

2. You cannot eat spicy or irritating foods after surgery, such as seafood and chili peppers, as these foods are very detrimental to the recovery of postoperative wounds.

3. Any sexual intercourse is prohibited within two weeks after the operation.
