Areola reduction surgery is a kind of breast plastic surgery. This method can reduce the areola of women through a very small operation, thus improving the problem of women's lack of self-confidence caused by excessive areola.

1. line drawing anesthesia: under local anesthesia, the operation is performed by incision around areola or fan-shaped incision. Avoid injury to nipple and breast tissue. Incision marks are left at the edge of areola or in areola, which is generally not obvious.

2. Excision of areola skin: Draw a circle with an appropriate radius (generally 1.5 ~ 2.5 cm) with the nipple as the center, excise the annular areola skin outside this range, and keep the dermis and subcutaneous vascular network to prevent the nipple areola from insufficient blood supply.

3. Reduce the radius: cut off a triangular skin inside and outside the surrounding skin to reduce the radius to make it consistent with the radius of the new areola.

4. Accurate suture: the peripheral subcutaneous tissue is slightly free and then sutured contraposition. After operation, just cover the gauze, take antibiotics, and don't change the medicine. The stitches were removed 7 ~ 8 days after operation.

Solution: Most of the areola in the above two cases is accompanied by breast hypertrophy or sagging, which can be reduced at the same time as breast reduction and male breast development surgery.

2. The areola is too big and the breast is not big or drooping.

Solution: In this case, simple skin partial excision of areola can be performed to reduce areola. That is, the excessive part of areola tissue is removed to make it commensurate with the size of the breast and make it smooth and symmetrical.
