I really don't understand what's happening. Had the areola of my left breast reduced. Two months post surgery the areola started to have very small openings and after two days will form a crust. Thought it was my body healing. These small openings kept on coming. I went to see my surgeon and he said that I have ezcema on the areola. I never had any ezcema problem before. He gave me an ointmemt: Cicaplast B5 to be applied 2 times for one month. Can my ezcema be linked to my surgery? What to do?
Periareolar tightening is know for causing stretching or widening of the scars. Sometimes the sutures that are used to tighten the area can lead to the crusting and inflammation you describe. If the suture is dissolvable it should resolve over time, but if there is a permanent suture the body may "spit " it out or your surgeon may want to remove it. Some people react more to sutures than others.
I would recommend you follow your surgeons advice, but if it does not resolve you may want to see a dermatologist to rule out excema or allergy.
I'd like areola reduction and currently have 450cc high profile saline implants under the muscle. I'd sometime in the future also want my implant size reduced but for now only the areolas. Will the benelli lift spread the areolas more? Why does my surgeon say it won't and others say it will? Who is right?? Also, is my goal realistic without changing the implant size yet? Thank you
A circumferential reduction of the areola can be performed but there is a significant chance the scar or areola may widen again.Because of this I use this approach sparingly in my practice and mainly for people who really need the skin tightening. It may not be worth the risk of scars in your case, but you should discuss it with your surgeon.
I'm a 26 year-old man who wants to get rid of the swelling under his nipples. they are glandular and minimal with no pain unless i press them. yet i hate them. They devellped during my puberty and never got away. at that time a doctor tried TAMOXIPHENs on me but it didn't work. help me please.
Surgical excision of the excess breast tissue is the best answer. This can usually be done through a very inconspicuous scar along the border of the lower areola. The excess breast gland (Gynecomastia) as well as any excess fat can be removed leaving a more natural shape.
