Yes it is possible to reduce the areola. I’ve done this on several men. I’ve also reduced their nipple size if the nipple is large as well. Sometimes these can be put on payment plans.

Yes, in most instances it is a very straightforward procedure that can be done in the office under local anesthesia with no down time. The procedure takes about 45 min in total. Payment plans are available.

It is possible to reduce the areola. If it is just too wide, the excess skin can be removed. If the areola are " puffy" it may be a form of gynecomastia, which can also be corrected surgically. We always offer payment plans via Care Credit. Best wishes!

Thank you for your excellent question. Assuming other underlying issues such as gynecomastia and/or pseudogynecomastia are ruled out, the areola can be reduced with a small in-office procedure. Hope this helps.

Dear Jettally80,

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Yes, it is possible for a male to have an areolar reduction, and many practices (including my own) offer a payment plan. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
