Having a breast revision w/lollipop lift. 1st op I had a benelli w/reduced areola. Started great then at 3mo areola stretched& the scar seems to have stretched too &is bright pink. I had a c-section w/ 3rd child & that scar healed beautifully, barely noticeable & white. I assumed breast aug would give same scar results. Is the scarring around areola due to the benelli lift or something I will have w/lollipop lift too? What can improve scar healing 2nd time around? (I don't smoke)

You would get DEEPER cleavage that way, but the implants would only be closer together if the new implants were wider, and if the pockets were opened medially (toward the midline).
