What scars will I have after my areola reduction treatment?

The process of reducing an enlarged areola or nipple typically results in minimal scarring around the incision sites. A circular incision will be made around the areola, which usually blends with the natural colour transition between the skin and the pigmented area. Initial healing occurs over the first few weeks, but scars from the incisions may take up to two years to fully mature. This varies among individuals, so it is important to follow the advice given during your post-operative check-ups.
