Areola Revision (revise the whole thing or just a partial crescent revision)?

August 17, 2024
Asked By:40yearoldtuneup in Sacramento, CA

I had an explant done 6 years ago. I'm looking at getting the lift redone. What do you recommend for my areolas? Do a brand new entire circle or just round out the upper part? (Like many, I am concerned with the new scarring. Afraid to redo the vertical scar since this one healed so well...)
