What To Do About Dimpling Around Areola After Reduction?

Thank you for the question and congratulations on your recent  breast reduction surgery.  This operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.

In regards to the  “dimples and dents",  I would suggest patience  and time to allow for the areas to settle out.

Hopefully within a few months you will remain very pleased with results of your surgery (including the areas that currently concern you).

I hope this helps.

Hi D_Q,

Dimpling around areola post breast reduction is quite common. These should resolve with time. Please be patient as you are very early in the healing process. If within a few months you are still unhappy, these slight imperfections can easily be corrected under local anesthesia in the office. Best wishes, Dr. H

Great posted photos! Best to allow more healing time, at least 3 months. If things are still "dimpled" than either scar revision or filler injection or fat grafts.
