Hello, Due to one of my chest walls protruding, my aereola (shown on the right) sticks out differently than the other (this pic is taken 10 months after my BA with CC). I will be getting surgery for the CC and my PS also suggested to move the aereola on the left, higher up to match the one on the right. Do you think it will be worth it, meaning it will make my aereolas a little more symmetrical than they are now?

Answer: Areola asymmetry. Is it worth fixing it? Yes, assuming your plastic surgeon can demonstrate significant experience helping patients in your situation with revisionary breast surgery, I think that improving the breast/areola asymmetry will be “worth it”. Make sure that you communicate your concerns and goals with your plastic surgeon prior to proceeding. Best wishes

Answer: Areolar asymmetry If you are having an upcoming revisional surgery to remove the capsule and replace the implant, I would advise waiting to see how the areola position settles out before doing a revision of the areola position at the same time. This gives your breast an opportunity to recover from the capsule removal and the areola position may settle down with time. If after 6 months to 1 year, you are still not happy with the areola position, then a revision may be done in the office. I would suggest that you consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
