I got a breast augmentation with a periareola mastoxpexy lift on June 06, 2024. The doctor I went with never went over sizing on anything and my main concern was my areolas. He never showed me what size he would be making them and left them almost the same how I originally had them. I wanted smaller as they are still rather on the bigger side still and one is more spread out than the other. What is the soonest to get another areola reduction if possible?

Answer: The problem with circumareolar mastopexy (areolar reduction) You were never an ideal candidate for this procedure and would have been better served with a true mastopexy. Your photos show many of the problems associated with the procedure in the wrong person: circumareolar pleating, persistently low nipple areolar complex (NAC) position, suboptimal scarring, and wide areola. Your breast skin is tight and will effectively fight back at any attempt at re-reduction in areolar size, making some the problems you have worse. Many like you don't heed my advice and go on to do it again anyway. When you realize that things aren't right or worse, and that a true lift scar pattern would be far more aesthetically pleasing to what you thought would be limited scarring from the circumareolar mastopexy, your surgeon will have a tough time doing what's necessary: raising the NAC, and making the breast mound shape pleasing because too much skin was removed in the horizontal vector. My advice: do nothing or do it right with a true mastopexy.

Answer: Areola reduction Dear Giving291655, generally speaking, you should wait until your incisions are fully healed prior to another surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
