I got the breast implants 9 months ago
Answer: Scars You may want to go back to your surgeon and discuss a scar revision with decreasing the size of the areola. Doing the periareolar lift with an augmentation does run the risk of larger areolae since that tissue is more prone to stretching than the rest of your skin, and your whole breasts were stretched with implants. It can be hard to shrink and stretch at the same time.

Answer: Formal Breast Lift Your Only Hope Hello,Scars do not go away. Some will improve in appearance, but yours will remain extremely wide, with irregular texture and pigmentation. Your breasts are ptotic, and you needed a formal breast lift (and probably reduction) 9 months ago. To fix your problem now, you will need this formal lift and reduction. If your surgeon isn't an ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specializes in revision breast surgery, you should consult with a few who are. Best of luck!

Answer: Areola Reduction Scars Unfortunately, it appears that you have pretty significant scarring around the areola. They may fade a little over time but will always be there. You may need a surgical revision to remove the old scars and close up around the areola in a stronger fashion than your previous surgery. I would go for a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons and see what will work best for you. I hope this helps.

Answer: Peri Areolar Mastopexy It appears to me that you have a few things that need to be addressed Hypopigmentation due to scarring and inflammation. This means that you have lost some pigmentation that is extending around the areola and towards the nipple. Scarring and post operative inflammation can do this Areolar diameter greater than 4 cm with the edges of the scar diameter probably greater than 8cm. The scar diameter is probably twice the diameter of the areola. This means if you want to have a scar revision you may need more than a peri-areolar incision. You may need an incision around the nipple and down to the bra line (lollipop). I have had a few patients who like to have larger areola. If this is your case then consider tattooing the area of the areola you want to keep. I recall a patient of mine who was a professional tattoo artist and specifically tattooed nipples. This quite common in breast reconstruction. So, I think if you weigh your options and constitute to get many opinions, you will make a good choice. I hope this helps.

Answer: Will the areola reduction scars ever go away? One of the problems with around the nipple breast lift is relapse with a stretch of the nipple, and an irregular scar as the skin around the nipple is drawn together. Your scar will improve over time, though a revision might help in future.
