Pigmentation left over after breast lift. Is there any treatment to remove this? (Photo)

June 6, 2022
Asked By:nugget09 in Calabasas, CA

I had surgery in 2017, lift w implants. Generally satisfied with the result, but do plan on getting a revision within the next 5 years. I have pigmentation under my areola that is the same color as my areola and has not diminished along with the vertical scar. So I suspect this is areolar pigmentation. I didn't have extremely large areolas prior, but they were larger than they are currently. If this is areola, is there any treatment that can remove this thats not super invasive?
