Areola rings - can they be treated?
Question asked: - 03. 01. 2024
I am 21 years old and have extra rings around both areolas that started to develop when I was around 12 years old. Over time they got very big and now I can't wear normal bathing suits without constant adjustments. Is there a skin lightening treatment or is breast augmentation surgery the only option?

Extra rings around the areola (known as areolar rings) can be a genetic trait that develops during puberty. If this causes you discomfort or aesthetic problems, there are several treatments that can help. For skin lightening, there are hydroquinone creams or laser treatments, but it is important to consult a dermatologist first. If your primary concern is breast shape, breast augmentation may be an option, but it would only change the shape, not the skin color.

Dear, I am thinking about breast surgery, but I am not sure if I only need an augmentation or maybe a lift. I am 165 cm tall and weigh 62 kg. What is the difference between these two procedures and which would be the best option for me?
