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: 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: Are my areolas supposed to look like this? (photos) Hello @hpovio thank you for your question and showing your pictures. I do not see a lift at all there is skin laxity in the breast. in a breast lift with or without implants, the areola and nipple are lifted, the breast shape is improved either by reorganizing the breast or placing volume with prostheses. I suggest you consult with several specialists. An examination by a board certified plastic surgeon will provide you with more information and recommendations. Best regards. Alan Gonzalez MD . Best wishes! Best luck! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Answer: Stretched areolas after breast implants and peri-areolar lift Unfortunately, this is very frequent complication of large implants, heavy breasts and peri-areolar incision (donut). Consideration should be given to a new lift, vertical (lollipop) incision, scar, smaller implants and possibly small reduction (if too much breast tissue is present). All of this will provide longer lasting result. Good luck.
