Q:

My areolas are very small, barely 3/8 inch in diameter (not quite 1 cm), of which most is nipple. I am 5 feet tall, weigh 98 pounds and have never had a child. If I were to get submuscular implants filled with 290cc of saline, can I hope for an increase in areola diameter?

A:

Yes, I would expect for your areola to increase in size some. This is variable depending on the size of the implants, and if placed under or over the muscle, and the properties of your own skin and elasticity of the skin. It is impossible to know exactly how much, but it would be wider.
