A member asked:

Hi my bra size is 36 dd and my areolas are really big and i was wondering if there is anything i can do to make them smaller?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast/areola size: Reduction mammoplasty operations can also surgically reduce the size of the areolae, but will add scarring to the appearance of the breasts, and will generally (at "36 dd") not be covered by medical insurance.
