1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.601 (Can you still breastfeed after areola reduction?) They say it's actually pretty common to get 2 00:00:01.601 --> 00:00:03.421 (SHINYU CLINIC) areola reduction along with breast reduction... 3 00:00:03.421 --> 00:00:05.360 Most people want areola reduction 4 00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.660 (Breast size = Areola size) Because people with large breasts usually have large areolas too 5 00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:09.280 When doing a vertical incision 6 00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:11.040 or an anchor-shaped (inverted-T) incision, 7 00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:12.560 areola reduction is usually done at the same time 8 00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:14.160 So when doing areola reduction together, 9 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.300 does it damage breastfeeding? 10 00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:17.980 (Breastfeeding isn’t affected at all!) It’s actually different from breastfeeding 11 00:00:17.980 --> 00:00:19.680 When doing areola reduction, it’s just skin being removed 12 00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:21.340 But will the areola reduction turn out well 13 00:00:21.340 --> 00:00:22.520 and will the scar be okay? 14 00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:23.480 That’s the issue 15 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:25.280 Areola reduction usually just removes skin, 16 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.159 but if you cut too deep inside, 17 00:00:27.159 --> 00:00:28.119 the nipple can become necrotic 18 00:00:28.119 --> 00:00:30.020 The areola itself can become necrotic, 19 00:00:30.020 --> 00:00:31.421 so you can only gently peel the skin 20 00:00:31.421 --> 00:00:36.432 (If you want to see more of this short?
