Tags: areola, lift, revision

I had B/a with aerola lift six months ago. My one areola is bigger than the other one due to a excess of areola. My P.S told me that he could get rid of it because there was a uneven amount of skin under my breast. That I'm two waait two years and he can fix it. I'm not happy as they look really un even and the the larger one looks saggy I feel like my skin isnt filled out enough. He has agreed to give me a re-op., ,Is it possible to have this done twice? Thank you for any advice

Breast augmentation

Revision of breast procedures (in fact any cosmetic procedure) is not uncommon.  The areola can be reduced under local anesthesia.

Breast lift and augmentation: not what you thought

From your picture I find it soemwhat concerning that you consider your breasts to not be filled out enough. They look very full to me. However, you are the one requesting the change and it si not my aesthetic.

Revision surgery after augmentation with a lift is common.

In cosmetic breast surgery, an augmentation mastopexy (breast implants and a lift) is the most common procedure to need a revision.

It is possible to perform the surgery again

Thank you very much for your enquiry, you are right it is certainly possible to have the surgery performed again and this may result in slight adjustments to your areola and reduction in the uneven amount of skin under your breast. Generally, I would advice you to wait 6 months to a year following surgery as most of the changes will occur during that time. If you are unhappy about the appearance of your bust I think it would be sensible to schedule a consultation with your... more

Breast lift and augmentation revision

Looking at your frontal photo, the superior fill from your augmentation appears reasonably symmetric. The left areola is somewhat larger and the nipple slightly inferior. You can certainly have a repeat of the periareolar lift on the left side which should correct the situation adequately. This can be done quite safely and at any time.

Revision of areola

Hard to see the exact problem on the photos because it shows up a bit blurry. If the areola are "off"  then you can have the larger one reduced after 6 months to a year.
