Large Areolas

Large areolas cause absolutely no physical harm, though some women may feel uncomfortable with the appearance of their large nipples, which can cause them to develop low self esteem and insecurities related to their physical appearance. For this reason, some women may choose to undergo surgery to reduce the size of their large areolas. This surgery may be done alone, or as part of a general breast reduction or augmentation. In most cases, nipple reduction surgery does not affect a woman's ability to breastfeed, and she should retain nipple sensation and sensitivity. However, like all surgeries, there can be complications, and not every person will experience the typical results. Anyone wishing to undergo nipple reduction surgery should be aware of the potential risks associated with this procedure before agreeing to it.
