What Causes Large Areolas? Is this normal?

Your areolas have a special character.

Look around if you are looking for average abs. Look in magazines if you want to see amazing abs. You’re on your own when it comes to vulvas and nipples.

It’s time to liberate the nipple or demystify it a little.

Your areola refers to the area of color around each nipple. Areolas, like breasts, come in many sizes and colors.

They come in various sizes, from a penny to a pepperoni slice to sandpaper to sized plates. They can range in color from the palest pink to the deepest brown. They can also point up, down, and all around.

Many women are concerned that their nipples or areolas don’t look normal. But there is no normal. These photos of real breasts will give you an idea of the variety of boobs.

Does the size of an areola change with time?

Yes. Yes. It’s not uncommon for your nipples and areolas to change over your life.

Your ovaries start producing estrogen during puberty. Your nipples will grow, and your areolas will darken. You may initially only see small amounts of fat under your areolas.

Your breasts will continue to grow, and your areolas may appear smaller.

While you are pregnant, your nipples and areolas may change. Your body makes hormones during pregnancy that will help you breastfeed. Your breasts, nipples and areolas might grow significantly.

After you stop producing breastfeeding, your breasts will return to their previous state.

Your skin’s areolas can stretch. Your breasts can grow if you gain weight. After losing weight, your areolas might not be the same size as before.

How does their color affect the size of their eyes?

Your breasts can be darker than your areolas. This can make them more noticeable.

There are many nipple and areola colors. People with darker skin tend to have darker nipples, but this is not always the case. People of different ethnicities can have very different nipples and areola colors.

Pregnancy is the only thing that can affect the color of the areolas. Doctors believe that areolas and nipples grow darker to make them visible to infants.

Can you change the size of your areolas?

There is no way to increase the size of your areolas. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned about the appearance of your areolas. Your doctor can talk to you about your options for areola loss and answer any questions.

Surgery

Areola removal surgery is an elective procedure. Insurance doesn’t cover it. The surgery is simple but can be costly.

Your doctor will remove the damaged pigmented tissue to create a smaller areola. They will place a permanent stitch inside the breast to prevent the areola’s stretching again. Incisions are made at the border of the new area, so scarring is usually hidden. The healing process is typically quick.

The areola can be performed alone or with a combination of breast augmentation or mastectomy.

Only local anesthesia can be used when the procedure is performed alone. This lowers the risk of complications.

Breastfeeding can be affected by this surgery. Breast surgery can also cause nipples to feel drier.
