What are my options?? Please someone help
Answer: Hello Hello, for what i could evaluate on the photos, you would need to wait for your skin to heal,completely and the scars to mature a bit longer,the you could have a revision of the scars, and round up the areola again, shouldn't be a problem. Best wishes

Answer: Half of nipple lost after wound dehiscence. What can I do? Thank you for your question and photographs. The good news is it doesn't appear that you have lost the lower half of your areolas. The bad news is that the wound opening during your healing period has caused the healing scar to blend in with your areola tissue to distort its appearance. If you would want to try and improve the appearance of both, you can have a scar revision performed, but you would need to wait until you are completely healed from this surgery. This may be a year or more from the original date of your surgery, and can be tested clinically by a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: The scar can be taken care of later At this point of time scar appears immature. Tts best to use silicon gel sheets that you can wear under your bra . The scar will become flatter and paler if its elevated . You can go back to your surgeon who can have a look then , and do scar revision surgery under local anaesthesia to improve it, if necessary.
