Achieve Chest Symmetry with Expert Surgical Precision by Dr. Dushyanth Kalva

The areola — the pigmented area surrounding the nipple — plays a vital role in the overall aesthetics of the chest or breast. Disproportionately large, stretched, puffy, or asymmetric areolas can draw unwanted attention, impact confidence, and disrupt an otherwise well-contoured physique.

At Inform Clinics, Hyderabad, Dr. Dushyanth Kalva, a distinguished cosmetic and gynecomastia surgeon, offers advanced Areola Reduction and Reshaping surgery for men and women who seek refinement and balance. The procedure focuses on achieving natural proportions, symmetry, and chest harmony with minimal scarring and downtime.

What is Areola Reduction & Reshaping Surgery?

Areola Reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces the size of enlarged areolas, while Areola Reshaping corrects asymmetry or irregular borders to create a more balanced, proportionate appearance. This surgery is frequently performed:

  • As a standalone procedure
  • In combination with Gynecomastia Surgery, Breast Lift, or Chest Sculpting
  • To restore areolar aesthetics after weight loss, pregnancy, or previous surgeries

Using discreet incisions around the outer edge of the areola, Dr. Kalva removes excess tissue and redefines the areola’s size and shape — all while preserving nipple sensitivity and function.

Who Can Benefit from Areola Correction Surgery?

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

  • Have genetically large or puffy areolas
  • Notice stretched or drooping areolas after weight changes or breastfeeding
  • Have asymmetry between the left and right areolas
  • Experience residual puffiness after gynecomastia surgery
  • Desire improved nipple-to-areola proportion for aesthetic reasons
  • Are generally healthy with realistic expectations

Surgical Overview: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation

During your visit, Dr. Dusyanth Kalva will evaluate:

  • Areola size, symmetry, shape, and nipple projection

A precise surgical plan is created to ensure the final result is harmonious, proportionate, and natural-looking.

  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with or without sedation
  • Incision: Circular incision around the edge of the areola
