Areola marker
A circular instrument of standardized diameter, with a cutting or marking edge, designed to precisely delineate the new areolar contour.
How it is used
Used in mastopexy and breast reduction to mark a symmetric, standardized diameter (typically 38-42 mm) before repositioning the areola.
Clinical tip
Using the identical diameter on both sides is essential to achieve satisfactory breast symmetry.
