Condition
Long Nipple & Large Areola
The average female nipple height is about 0.9cm and average areola diameter about 4cm. A disproportionate nipple or areola can give the breast an imbalanced appearance and can be very challenging, making women uncomfortable to show their breasts.

What causes it
What causes Long Nipple & Large Areola?
Genetics
Genetics has the biggest role in determining the size of areola and length of nipples. Some women are simply born with long nipples and large areola.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
During pregnancy, women’s nipples elongate and areolas get larger and darker in preparation for breastfeeding. They may also grow as your breasts expand with pregnancy weight gain. These changes can return to their pre-pregnancy appearance after stopping breastfeeding, but sometimes may not.
Surgery can be done to permanently reduce the size of the nipple and areola. This surgery is often done in the context of other breast surgeries, but it can also be done on its own.
