I had a mastopexy with no implants in 2018 to reduce my areolas. I opted for the donut technique and was given permanent stitching to prevent the areolas from stretching. The results were disappointing as I developed bad scarring, puffiness from stitch tension, pain from the stitching, & my areolas ended up expanding. I did not have any life changes nor am I planning on having kids. Seeking revision to remove stitching, reduce areolas, and eliminate puffiness. Will travel for experienced surgeon.
I'm a 25 year old female, 190lbs, and my areolas are very large. I'm very self conscious about them. I'm trying to lose weight. If I lose weight and my breasts shrink, will my areolas shrink too or will they stay large? Is there any way to shrink my areolas?
I'm wondering when after an areola reduction can you get your nipples pierced? How long should you wait after the operation? I am also wondering if you can get your nipples pierced if you have a nipple correction surgery. One of my nipples is slightly inverted, it kind of looks like I only have half a nipple if that makes sense. So if I do get it surgically corrected can I still pierce it?
HI am about to have an areola reduction surgery and wonder what I can do to reduce scarring and help the healing process afterwards? Are there any creams, scar sheets that you can recommend? Will I need to wear a surgical bra afterwards or would a regular sports bra be enough? Thanks!
I've had 2 lollipop lifts, both times my body rejected the stitches around areola and left me with with widen scars. I went to a PMU for scar camouflage, and you can see in the pic how that turned out. I'm planning kids soon, so while I do want a full lift revision, I can't do that right now. Laser oxidized the ink because of the ingredients. If you were my doctor, what would you suggest as a fix for now until I can get a full revision? Areola reduction with external stitches? Will it be worse?
Ive reached my final size/shape for implant removal/fat transfer replacement and Im very happy with both! However, Ive always had larger than avg areolas (originally had tuberous breasts) and the implants seemed to have stretched this tissue more on one breast. The areola asymmetry makes them look like different size/shapes even thought theyre not. I would like to have only the larger areola reduced, but would this change the overall size/shape and result in a more pronounced asymmetry?
I am thinking of having an areola reduction surgery but I am not sure about it. My areolas are 2 inches in diameter when my nipples are soft. They look ok when my nipples are hard and shrink 1/2 inch. It is very common that they return to their starting size? I dont want to be left with scars and no long term improvement. My areolas stretched out after I used a noogleberry device so they were not naturally this big if it makes a difference in a likelihood that they will stretch back out?
