HATE Freeman – Areola Marker

The HATE freeman areola marker is a German-made round areola marker in a cookie-cutter style, with a sharp circular rim and a central aperture. It is pressed onto the stretched areola to mark a perfect circle of a fixed diameter before breast reduction, mastopexy, or reconstruction.

What Is a Freeman Areola Marker?

In breast reduction and breast lift, the size of the new areola is planned in advance, and both sides should match. Drawing a circle by hand is rarely perfect. The Freeman areola marker solves this: it is placed over the areola, pressed lightly, and leaves an exact circular mark that can be used as the incision line.

The central aperture lets the surgeon center the marker on the nipple, so the circle is even on all sides. The freeman areola marker is made in several diameters.

Clinical Uses of the Freeman Areola Marker

The freeman areola marker is suitable for:

Why Use an Areola Marker?

Symmetry of the nipple-areola complex is one of the most visible results of breast surgery. An areola marker gives exactly the same circle on both sides every time. It saves time, reduces the risk of uneven or oval areolas, and gives the surgeon a precise incision line to follow.

How to Use the Freeman Areola Marker

1. Stretch the areola evenly with gentle tension.
2. Centre the marker on the nipple using the central aperture.
3. Press the marker lightly onto the skin; use marking ink on the rim if preferred.
4. Lift the marker and confirm the circle before incising.
