Areola Uneveness After Breast Lift?

I hade implants removed and a breast lift nearly 4 weeks ago. Things seem to be going well, however, I definitely see a noticeable difference in the size of my aeriolas, which were reduced. One is larger than the other and they both don't seem evenly round. What is involved with going back in and having my doctor correct this?

Revision of asymmetric areola

You may require revision of your areolar diameter, which is a fairly straightforward procedure. These areolar revisions can often be performed under local anesthesia.

At this point in your recovery, it is much too early to evaluate the end results of surgery. Hopefully you will be please with the results of surgery 6 months to one year after it was performed. If, at that point, the areola remain asymmetric revisionary surgery can usually be done under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort/recovery time. I would suggest that you continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon until that time. Best wishes.

Uneveness Following Breast-Lift

If is very common for there to be some asymmetry immediately following a breast-lift. Four weeks is much too soon to draw any conclusions on the final result and would be too early to consider any type of enhancement or touch-up procedure. Sometimes the difference in the size of the areola can be caused by how the sutures are placed, and once the healing is complete, any assymetry often resolves spontaneously. I generally advise my patients to wait at least six months following... more

Areola Uneveness After #BreastLift? ANS:

This is not uncommon and I usually give my patients about 6-8 months to see how things heal up and then if there are any irregularities, I bring them into my office and under local anesthesia and at no charge, I revise the scar and shape...Not too big of deal really...It works great!

Areola Uneveness After Breast Lift

If your surgeon agrees, a touch up of this sort is a minor procedure and can usually be done under local anesthesia. However, four weeks is a bit early to be considering modest amounts of asymmetry, as these may improve on their own as the changes from surgery settle down. Patience. Follow up with your surgeon. Thank you for your question.
