What is Areola and Nipple Reduction?

While breast surgery goes a long way in restoring the figure after aging, pregnancy, or weight loss, the picture may be incomplete without additional procedures to correct oversized nipples and areolas. With nipple and areola repair performed by Dr. Barker in Denver, sensitivity and sensation in the area are preserved while aesthetic concerns such as enlargement, asymmetry, and poor placement are beautifully corrected.

How is Areola and Nipple Reduction Performed?

During your areola and nipple reduction in Denver, Dr. Barker will use innovative techniques to create small, inconspicuous incisions through which he will redefine the borders of the areolas and remove excess tissue from the nipples. Unevenness and asymmetry are carefully corrected to ensure a balanced, proportionate outcome that enhances the overall breast appearance. While areola and nipple reduction procedures are mostly performed for women in conjunction with breast augmentation, lift, or reduction, men can also undergo the procedure if needed.

Am I a Candidate for Areola and Nipple Reduction?

Our nipple and areola reduction in Denver is a safe and effective procedure for patients over 18 who are healthy non-smokers with realistic expectations for their results. There is no upper age limit for undergoing the procedure. However, the most important determining factor is the patient’s overall health. Patients should be free from any uncontrolled medical concerns that could interfere with their treatment or its recovery. Dr. Barker will perform a detailed evaluation and medical review during your private consultation, listening to your concerns and making sure that areola or nipple reduction is the ideal choice for you.

What To Expect During Your In-Depth Consultation

Every patient has unique objectives for their surgery. Dr. Barker will conduct a comprehensive consultation process, listening actively to your concerns and dislikes regarding your areolas and nipples. He will delve into your medical history, take pre-op photos, evaluate your skin quality, nipple location, and areola characteristics, and discuss the pros and cons of the procedure with you, answering any questions in depth.

Factors that will be taken into account include the following:

Nipple shape and position
Degree of nipple projection or drooping
Degree of nipple inversion or retraction
Nipple and areola symmetry
Any accessory nipples

The size, shape, and coloring of the areolas
The overall skin quality, elasticity, and thickness
Any scarring from previous breast surgeries
Your plans for breastfeeding in the future
Any other concerns with your nipples you may have

Following your assessment, Dr. Barker will determine the ideal surgical approach for you, explaining his intentions in detail. He will go over what is required of you before, during, and after surgery to ensure your overall experience is stress-free.

Areola and Nipple Reduction Recovery

After your areola and nipple reduction procedure, you will receive a compression garment, which helps to minimize swelling and keep your newly sculpted nipples protected. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort will peak in the first few days and then gradually subside. Dr. Barker will provide a personalized aftercare plan along with pain medications to ensure a smooth, seamless healing process. Most clients can resume work within a few days, being careful to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for around 3-4 weeks, or as instructed by Dr. Barker.
