Areola Correction

Areola Correction
Areola correction is a surgical procedure offered at Enova Surgery to reshape or resize the pigmented area surrounding the nipple, helping to restore symmetry, and create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
It’s completely natural for there to be some asymmetry between the breasts—just like with our hands, eyes, or feet. However, in some cases, the difference in size or shape between the areolas can be quite noticeable, leading to self-consciousness or discomfort. Areola irregularities may be present from birth or may develop later due to hormonal changes, puberty, pregnancy, or previous surgery.
With Enova Surgery, areola correction is a highly personalised procedure. Whether the goal is to reduce the size of a larger areola, correct uneven shape, or address puckering and scarring, our skilled surgical team will work with you to create a tailored plan that meets your needs and enhances your confidence.
What to expect from the procedure:
Areola correction is performed under local anaesthetic as a day case, meaning you’ll be able to return home the same day. The most common technique involves making a circular incision around the edge of the areola, removing a donut-shaped area of excess pigmented tissue, and carefully closing the incision with fine, hidden sutures to maintain a natural-looking result.
There are a number of techniques available, and the right one for you will depend on your anatomy, skin quality, and personal goals. Your surgeon will discuss all options during your consultation and guide you through every step of the process.
If you are also concerned about the size or projection of your nipples, nipple reduction can be performed alongside areola correction for a more complete and harmonious enhancement.
At Enova Surgery, we’re committed to helping you feel confident and comfortable in your body. Every areola correction procedure is bespoke, designed with precision and delivered with expert care.

Our Process
FIRST CONSULTATION
Once booked in to your initial consultation with Enova Surgery, we will take time to get to know you and understand your goals. We will discuss your medical history and any previous breast history. This is the ideal time to ask questions and discuss expectations for your procedure.
EXAMINATION AND ASSESSMENT
We will perform a full examination of your chest and perform measurements (if needed), all with a clinic chaperone. We will discuss surgical options with you and ensure that there is plenty of time for your questions.
SECOND CONSULTATION
At Enova Surgery, we believe it is best practice to offer a second consultation before you undergo any surgery with us. This will give you the time to ensure that you are making the right decision for yourself. We will always give you a “cooling-off period” of at least 14 days before undergoing any surgery.
SURGERY
On the day of your procedure, our priority is your safety and comfort. We will discuss your procedure again to confirm you have understood everything. We will perform surgical marking and take clinical photographs for your records. If you are having a general anaesthetic, you will also meet the Consultant Anaesthetist who will explain everything you need to know about your anaesthetic with you.
AFTER SURGERY
Excellent aftercare is the cornerstone of your recovery, and is as important as the procedure itself. You will attend follow-up appointments to check your progress, change your dressings and to remove any sutures if needed. You will receive guidance on how to contact us if you have any questions or concerns during your recovery.
Patient Information Hub
At Enova Surgery, we want you to have the best possible experience – from your first consultation through to full recovery. For detailed guidance on preparing for surgery, what to expect during recovery, and how to optimise your results, explore our Patient Information Hub.
