Why does the areola on African American women look significantly darker and unnatural after a breast lift (mastopexy)?

Asked By:scifimania in Atlanta, GA

Hello, I know I am not the only one who noticed (this question was asked on here before without an answer), but the areolas after a mastopexy on black women are significantly darker, and super fake/weird looking. The areolas on white women on the other hand, are faded on the edges, and still looks natural after healing. Is there a way to avoid this weird look for us darker women?
