The most popular approach for breast augmentation is periareolar, which yields the most accurate results with a discrete scar because the incision is made at
the pigmented area around the nipple.
For example with your areolas —
the pigmented area around your nipples — will become darker.
Nipples also become larger and generally darker, as will the areola,
the pigmented area around the nipple.
Most nipple shields are made of silicone and consist of a thin «brim» that covers all or part of the areola (
the pigmented area around the nipple) and a firmer, protruding «tip» that fits over the nipple.
