What you need to know about Areola Reduction in Cape Town

Areola reduction is a surgical procedure to permanently decrease the diameter of one or both of the areolas (the pigmented area that surrounds the nipple). There are no medical reasons to undergo an areola reduction. This procedure is an option for women or men who are not happy with the size of their areolas or how their areolas look. It works well with people who:

Are born with areolas that are subjectively large
Have stretched areolas due to significant weight loss
Have protruding or puffy areolas
Experience a significant change in their areolas after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or trauma
Have asymmetrical areolas (the procedure can reduce one to match the other)
For any other reason, do not like the way their areolas look and feel self-conscious about it.

Areola reduction can be performed on its own or together with other breast enhancement procedures, such as breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, or nipple reduction.

What's the Recovery Time for Areola Reduction Procedures in Cape Town?

Areola reduction has a relatively quick recovery time. You may experience some bruising and swelling for the first few days following your surgery, but you can usually go back to work within a day or two if you have an office job. However, it is important to remember that you need to avoid intense activities, such as exercise and heavy lifting, for at least 3 weeks following your surgery.

It's also imperative to follow your surgeon’s instructions diligently for a swift wound healing process. Lifestyle factors such as good nutrition, regular exercise, and abstaining from harmful habits like smoking can also notably speed up recovery

What's the Success Rate of Areola Reduction Procedures in Cape Town?

Areola reduction is a very safe procedure. Since it is a relatively simple cosmetic procedure, the success rates are very high and most people who have the procedure reported that they are satisfied with the results. It is important to note, however, that it may take a few weeks before you can appreciate the results. The results can be obscured by the initial period of bruising and swelling. Rresults are normally permanent, resulting in a more proportionate areola in harmony with the size of the breasts, with a reduced risk of looking 'stretched' after pregnancy or breastfeeding.
