How to Fix Areola Dent Scar After Breast Augmentation?

You have adhesions to the underlying tissues, which can sometimes occur after peri-areolar breast surgery. A revision of the scar can be attempted and is usually successful, but there is the possibility that the condition may recur.

If you have a scar that is contracted and tethered to the deeper layers, the treatment is to release the scar re-close the wound in layers in such a way that a healthy tissue is sandwiched between the cut scar ends. While in theory simple, in real life getting it to heal properly can be tricky and the scars tend to recur and contract again.

This may require a relatively minor procedure with an incision and surgical release of the scar with a layered repair that separates the gland, fatty tissue and skin. In rare instances, release of the muscle is required but this is a more extensive procedure.
