Areola Uneveness After Breast Lift?

Thank you for your question,

Correction of areola size and shape after a breast lift can be easily done under local anesthesia in the office. I usually don't consider a revision of this sort until the 5th or 6th month post op. Time must be given to see if any other changes will take place.

One helpful tip to minimize 'areola discrepancies' is to continue wearing a bra day and night to support and keep the areola centered and without tension. Wear a bra to bed at least 6 months after a periareolar incision. This will keep the areola from being misshapen. Wearing a bra, however, will not prevent size discrepancies.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

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.
