Areola Reduction in Southlake

Dr. Matt Novak with Southlake Plastic Surgery is dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals through personalized and transformative procedures. If you’re considering an areola reduction, you’re in the right place to explore this specialized procedure designed to enhance the symmetry and proportion of your breasts.

Areola Reduction Procedure:

Areola reduction is a cosmetic surgery procedure focused on resizing and reshaping the pigmented area surrounding the nipple, known as the areola. This procedure is ideal for individuals who feel their areolas are disproportionate to their breast size or are dissatisfied with the shape and size of their areolas.

During the areola reduction procedure, Dr. Matt Novak carefully removes excess tissue from the outer edge of the areola, achieving a more harmonious and balanced appearance. The result is a refined and proportionate areola that complements the overall aesthetics of the breast.

Commonly Paired Procedures:

1. Breast Augmentation: Many patients opt for areola reduction in combination with breast augmentation to achieve a more comprehensive enhancement. This pairing allows for customized adjustments to both the size and shape of the breasts, providing a harmonious and natural-looking result.

2. Breast Lift (Mastopexy): For those seeking to address sagging or drooping breasts, a combination of areola reduction and breast lift can be highly effective. This dual approach not only reshapes the areolas but also lifts and repositions the breasts for a more youthful contour.

3. Breast Reduction: Areola reduction is often incorporated into breast reduction surgery to achieve proportional and aesthetically pleasing results. This combination allows Dr. Novak to address both the size of the breasts and the appearance of the areolas simultaneously.
