Need help with areola discoloration. Can this be fixed? (Photo)

May 6, 2024
Asked By:krperrin in Raleigh, North Carolina

I had my 10+ year implants replaced because I was having the waterfall effect. The dr also had to do a lift and made the areola smaller. Other than a couple of things I wasn’t crazy about I was overall happy. However fast forward about 2 years and my right areola is having discoloration. It looks like the scar stretched to the nipple. That isn’t what happened. But 1/2 my areola is now the same color as my scar. Can this be fixed? Is something wrong?
