Yes:male/female?: Ya areola reduction is commonly performed as an integral part of breast reductions or breast lifts in females and as part of gynecomastia repair in males. Although simple excision of the underlying breast tissue in gynecomastia is commonly associated with shrinkage of the areola.

Yes: The trade-off is a scar around the outside of the areola, which in most cases heals well. This is a commonly performed procedure, so if large areolar size bothers you, consider seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss.
