Are there dangers in cutting on the areola twice?

Thanks for your question! Any time you make incisions in the same place, you run a higher risk for wound-healing issues or possible tissue death. However, lots of patients have revision surgery and multiple incisions without incident. Good luck!

Every surgery will come with risks. Multiple surgeries on the same area can carry increase risks for healing complications. However if proper blood supply to the area is maintained this can be done safely. Be sure to see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns.

Hi Genius491542,
I would definitely suggest you discuss with your original surgeon, who understands the technique that was used to move your nipple the first time--specifically, what blood supply keeps the nipple alive.
In a breast reduction, the nipple can be kept alive on various "pedicles" of breast tissue (superior-medial, central, and inferior are most common). This blood supply should be known and ideally preserved during any revision surgery.
Hope this helps.
