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: correction of nipple areolar complex

I agree with the previous comments, but I would like to add a few things. First, the scars would not have to go all around the areola (the pigmented part around the nipple which you feel is too oblong). It only has to be where skin would be removed to round it out.

Second, despite the comment about scars being variable, which is true, it is still more than likely that you would be very happy with this procedure. If you are ok with the scar from the augmentation, and if your surgeon does a good correction of this, I think you will feel it was definitly worth it.

All surgery has risks, but with this procedure the risks are low. Despite careful measuring, the result may not be perfectly circular--for several reasons.

Lastly, this is a relatively simple operation, and can be easily performed in the office without sedation, if your surgeon is gentle. It shouldn't cost very much, somewhere in the range of $1,000-$2000 would be reasonable, in my opinion. If it bothers you and you can afford it, I would encourage you to do it. Good luck.

If I Get an Aerola Reduction, is the Scar Very Noticeable? I am latina, olive skin tone and tan easily. Will the aerola reduction scar be very noticeable? I seem to heal well based on my previous breast augmentation with was through crease...I just really still want my aerolas reduced. They are so big.

A: Areolar Reduction

Areolar reduction scarring is determined by many factors. These factors include, the skin laxity, tissue tension, surgical technique employed and the patients healing. It is best to discuss these details with your surgeon.
