Areola Correction
Balance. Symmetry. Confidence.
"Surgical correction of enlarged, asymmetric, or irregularly shaped areolae through a periareolar incision — performed alone or combined with breast surgery."
Your journey
Marking
Desired areola diameter marked symmetrically. Standard size is 38–42mm.
Incision
Excess areola tissue removed via a circular incision at the border.
Closure
Purse-string suture technique minimises scar at the areola edge.
Dressing
Sterile dressing applied. No overnight stay required.
Result
Final appearance stable at 3 months. Scar at the areola border fades well.
Rehabilitation
Outpatient
Surgery on the day of the visit under local anaesthesia.
Care
Daily dressing. Keep the area dry.
Suture removal
Sutures removed. Scar care begins.
Normal
Return to full activity.
Result
The scar fades and the shape is stable.
Scar progression
How the scar changes — from surgery to final result
Scars are placed within natural skin folds and become virtually unnoticeable over time. Proper care and sun protection speed up the fading process. For most patients, the scar blends with the surrounding skin within 12–18 months.
Suture removal
The scar is pink-red and slightly raised. Scar care begins — silicone gel or tape.
Active healing
Colour darkens to deep pink. The scar may thicken — this is normal. Avoid sun exposure and wear compression garments.
Maturation
The scar lightens, softens, and flattens. Itching and heightened sensitivity fade.
Final appearance
The scar takes on a silvery-beige tone and becomes barely visible, aligning with underwear lines.
