What can be done about areola puckering due to permanent stitch? (photo)

3 years post op from my breast lift + aug. There was a significant shape + size discrepancy between my breasts. The right was the larger, droopier breast and needed a lollipop+anchor lift. The left, was the smaller breast which was given a donut lift. Since there was less tissue on the left breast the surgeon put in a permanent suture. I dislike the puckering around that areola when it's relaxed. My surgeon said they could remove it, but the areola can spread. Any advice is appreciated.Thank you
