I had a breast augmentation and circumareola lift almost 2 years ago and have not been happy with the way my areolas look; they are misshaped and too big.
Answer: Are my areolas supposed to look like this? Hi. I’m sorry to hear you are unhappy with your results. You can certainly get your areolas fixed. An areola reduction will make them smaller and rounder. I believe you need a lift as well though.

Answer: Good effect achieveble with revision surgery It seems that after performing circumareolar lift (periareolar mastopexy) purse string suture has loosen up, resulting in burst areolas and change in shape. Performing revision periareolar mastopexy, using special, stronger thread will improve the shape and can reduce the areolas. However, for the best lifting result I would consider performing vertical mastopexy.

Answer: Areola shape Hello, thanks for your question and photo submission. Over time gravity can stretch out the skin. usually occurs with breasts and areolas. You would have to go for another surgery to minimize the areola however it can continue to droop and stretch out over time due to gravity and skin quality.

Answer: Aerolae Your surgeon was trying to do a lift with minimal scarring, but a vertical lift would have worked better and avoided the stretched out areolae.

Answer: Periareolar scars Unfortunately, if you redo the periareolar scars, the problem may recur and the center of your breast will be flat. If you want to fix this, you will need to have a breast lift. This can be done with either a lollipop or anchor scar. Not only will it make your areola smaller and more round, but it will prevent the lower part of your breast from sagging more. Best of luck!

Answer: Not ideal The circumareolar lift is going out of fashion because of problems like this. It relies on the integrity of the suture and it's relationship with the surronding tissues to have its effect. This means that if the tissues change (eg with time and gravity) or the suture fails or loses its hold, the areola always stretches back out again. It is possible to do it again but my advice would be to convert this to a circumvertical uplift or even a full mastopexy. It means a scar leading down the breast also, but a much more predictable areola size and shape. A full mastopexy would lift the entire breast into a better position but at the cost of an additional scar in the crease of the breast. See a plastic surgeon for examination and further advice. Best of luck
