Prominent nipples and areolas are a common point of concern for men. An over-projecting nipple can restrict confidence and impact one's interest in warm weather activities.
The overly large or wide areola can also be a point of concern. These issues are generally a result of genetics but can be caused by medications, steroid usage or weight fluctuations. While nipple reduction surgery reduces the size of the nipple, an areola reduction can be done to decrease the diameter or puffiness of the areola (surrounding darker tissue). It is quite common for one or both of these procedures to be combined with Gynecomastia or (Male Breast Reduction) to improve the chest’s overall appearance.
