During the consultation phase, Dr. Rodriguez confers with the patient about their preferred nipple appearance. Although it is not necessary to make any changes to the nipples, many women choose to have the nipple reduced in size so that it is proportional to the new size of their breasts. They also prefer to have the areolas repositioned higher on the breasts so that they are central and have a more youthful (but no less natural) look. If you have always wanted to improve the shape, symmetry or other aspect of your areola, please discuss that with Dr. Rodriguez so that he may incorporate that into your surgical plan.
