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: Periareolar reduction and breast augmentation This pattern of breast areolar reduction is dynamic and the areola, if left alone, may further expand and become uneven. I would consider a T-pattern breast lift and areolar reduction. As for the scars, I would begin treatment with Vbeam laser and Sequel Scar Defense creams as soon as possible to reduce scar inflammation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukan Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Areolae Your areolae are large because of stretching with implants. You should wait at least 6 months from surgery and permanent sutures may be needed. It is difficult to get small areolae with large implants. The implants stretch the areolae.

Answer: Areola reduction You will want to wait at least six months before considering further revision to allow time for the scars to settle and heal. Be aware that the areola can stretch again with subsequent surgeries. You can use silicone scar sheeting and creams to promote good scar healing. Other options are lasers and steroid injections if needed.

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.
