APEX Areola (Reduction / Bump Removal) An areola ideally suited to the overall size and proportion of the breast can be created to refine its beauty. For an areola in harmony with the breast! An overly large areola that does not suit the breast, and the bumps around it, can be a functional as well as an aesthetic concern. Areola reduction addresses cosmetic issues of size, shape and scarring. The small bumps around the areola are called Montgomery glands or Montgomery tubercles, and they secrete an oily fluid that protects the skin of the areola. However, when that secretion does not drain well they can enlarge or become inflamed, so removal may be considered. An ideal areola in harmony with the whole breast!

An overly large areola that is out of proportion with the breast, along with the bumps around it, can be an aesthetic concern and may also involve a functional issue. Areola reduction can address cosmetic concerns such as size, shape, and scarring. The small bumps around the areola are called Montgomery glands, or Montgomery tubercles; they secrete an oily fluid that protects the skin of the areola.
However, if drainage is poor it may enlarge or become inflamed, so removal may be considered.
