Areola Reduction Ipswich, Suffolk
Areola reduction in Ipswich, Suffolk, is an option for anyone wishing to alter the size or shape of their areolas. The areola is the pink or brown pigmented area of skin around the nipple.
While it’s normal for breasts and areolas to come in all shapes, sizes and colours, we understand people aren’t always comfortable with their appearance. An areola reduction is a common and successful method for altering the proportions of your breasts and boosting your inner confidence.
Depending on your desired results, you can have the surgery on its own or alongside other procedures, such as breast augmentation or breast reduction.

What Can I Expect From an Areola Reduction Surgery?
Consultation and Planning
The first step in an areola reduction in Ipswich is to schedule your initial consultation. Here, you’ll meet with Dr. Hussein Tuffaha, our specialist surgeon, who will assess your breast shape and areola position.This consultation allows you to explore your options, get answers to any questions and decide whether you’ll be combining the procedure with another breast surgery.
To prepare for an areola reduction in Ipswich, we will:
- Review your medical history with the surgeon.
- Help you understand the risks and benefits.
- Advise you to maintain a healthy weight for the best results.
Surgical Process
Areola reduction surgery is performed under either local or general anaesthetic. Our surgeon will discuss the most suitable option during your consultation.
The procedure involves carefully removing a portion of the areola’s outer area before stitching the remaining skin together to create a smaller, more proportionate size. The surgery typically takes around an hour and you can return home the same day.
If you’re combining areola reduction with another breast procedure, the breast surgery will always be carried out first.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following an areola reduction in Ipswich, your recovery will include:
- Some swelling and bruising, which should subside within 1–2 weeks.
- A need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least 4–6 weeks.
- Gradual healing, with final results becoming noticeable as swelling decreases, usually within 3–6 months.
