I had breast implants with crescent lift along with areola reduction of one. Explanted two weeks later due to size variation in breast. Just wasn't happy with outcome. Steri strips came off and top have of areola is too small (3 to 4 centimeters on top and 1 inch on bottom) nipple is not in middle and bottom half of areola is puffy.
