Dark Areola Skin in Folds of Incisions on (R) Breast Lift & (L) Breast Hangs Low on Inside. Do I need a revision? (Photo)

Good morning,
I'm sorry you feel your surgeon is dismissive- this is the most critical time period for open and honest communication because patients often have postop questions and concerns- your incisions look normal for so early and should heal nice and smooth but it does take months!

If your areolae started out very large sometimes some of the pigment gets transfer to the vertical scar you have. After you have healed it's simple to go back and remove that darker skin. It would take twenty minutes under local anesthesia

Dear Practical7290,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You are too early to discuss concerns about hanging tissue since you have swelling and the implants have not settled. This should improve as you heal. The dark areas be your vertical incision includes part of the areolar skin. right now you need to heal. Later, more can be excised.
