What Procedure Will Change the Size and Shape of my Nipples with Minimal Scars? (photo) I am 24years old, 115lbs, 5'7", I have had 3 children and recently gotten a breast aumentation. I have silicone implants above the muscle. I love the size and shape of them but I hate my nipples. They are oblong and just terrible looking. Therefore I would like to know if there is a procedure that can fix the appearance of my nipple with minimal scarring? I am especially concerned about nipple surgery with my implants above the muscle, should I be?

A: Avoid surgery / No scars

Your areolas appear to be oblong due to asymmetric contraction. This may be temporary especially if your subglandular breast augmentation was fairly recent. Overall you have an very nice result and the resultant scars from a areolar reduction will most likely bother you more, especially if they become raised or widened. There is also no guarantee that it will correct the original contraction problem and it could possibly lead to areolas of different sizes. There is a saying in plastic surgery: Better is the enemy of good.

Areola Reduction Problem - Leaking from Stitch Site Thank you for the answer. Continuing with case (www.realself.com/question/aerola-reduction-surgery-problems). I have further comments. There wasn't a suture sewed around the areola. The surgeon used only stitches on the wound which were not dissolved by my body and my body made them hard, so the surgeon removed the previous scars by cutting it (the undissolved stitches) and redid the areola on the surface. After that 2nd "fixing" my boobs won't stop leaking. How could this be fixed now?

A: Wound drainage following surgery

Hello,

You are describing wound drainage following surgery. There are a number of potential causes for this including seroma, infection, suture abscess, among others. If there is no redness and just drainage there may be a seroma. Have your plastic surgeon take a close look at you to determine if a drain or antibiotics are needed.

All the best,

Areola Reduction I cannot find much info on an areola reduction. I am a 38DDD is an areola reduction an option at all? I imagine it is not and I am sure I need a full lift. I have a consultation for a TT and I am going to ask about my breasts as well. In a perfect world I would be a candidate for an areola reduction with implants. I do not care so much about upper pole fullness but more about nipple placement. I also would like them to be slightly larger. I am 5'10 btw.

A: Benefit from a breast lift and areola reduction

You would clearly benefit from a breast lift with/without implants. If you are indeed a DDD then with the lifting and reconfiguration of your breasts you probably will not need implants.

As part of the lift, the areolas are elevated and (usually) reduced in size. This should give you a very nice result particularly in conjunction with a tummy tuck.
