Areola Marker, 40 mm – Blunt Edge

40 mm sits in the centre of the range offered here, between the 36 mm conservative option and the 42 and 45 mm markers used where greater breast volume calls for a proportionally larger areola. That central position is why it is the size most often reached for first, and why a surgeon owning only one marker usually owns this one.

What the marker actually does is remove a variable. Drawing an areola freehand means the result depends on the surgeon’s hand at that moment and on how the tissue happens to lie; a rigid template produces the same circle every time, on both sides, regardless. That consistency matters more than absolute accuracy — an areola a millimetre off the plan is invisible, while one that differs from its pair is not.
