28 yo mom of two breast fed/50lb weight loss- I had 560cc gummy implants placed three months ago. I feel like they only made a minor impovement to the appreance of my breasts. I do not want to undergo a lift due to potential scarring on my fair skin. I feel like an areola reduction would allow me to actually enjoy the shape of my implants and make my nipples appear slightly higher. Thoughts?

Answer: Considering options Scars are never desired, but if you want to have a nice result a lift is needed. From your photos you are not a candidate for a periareolar lift. With the pressure from the implants it is likely the areola will stretch again. A lift could also address the volume asymmetry you have as well. I encourage you to visit with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to learn more.

Answer: You are going to do the wrong thing Areolar reduction via a circumareolar reduction will not only NOT do what you want, it will give you the worst looking scars, pleating, flattening of your breast mound, and no appreciable reduction in areolar diameter. A full mastopexy will not only improve breast mound shape and nipple position, but it will reliably reduce areolar diameter without the above mentioned problems with a fine scar. The scars from the mastopexy are likely going to heal imperceptivity when done by a breast surgery expert. You don't have to take my word for it. Just go looking around here or other sites to see how many women who got a circumareolar reduction are clamoring for revision after revision because the initial surgery didn't work. Do the right thing and get a beautiful breast.
