The areola is the round, dark brown area around the nipple, and its color and size vary by individual and ethnicity.
Golden ratio breasts with areolas matching the nipples~
The areola of a mature woman is about 3 cm in diameter, but in some women, it can be more than 10 cm.
Due to menstruation, pregnancy, hormonal changes from medication, or aging, the shape of the areola may become oval-shaped or enlarge. An areola that is excessively large compared to the breast poses no functional problems, but it can cause stress by becoming a cosmetic complex. Through areola reduction surgery, you can improve this complex and no longer feel stressed.
