Seems there’s still Areola skin left in the spot of my original areola nipple when I got a lift / reduction! Is this normal ? Does it go away?

Answer: Retained areolar pigmentation Sometimes, especially if the areola is very wide, some residual pigment can be left on one or both side sides of the vertical incision. At the time of surgery if the surgeon feels that removing it would lead to too much tension on the incision he or she may opt to leave to avoid a complication. Unfortunately retained areolar pigmentation will not go away on its own normal treatments. Once your surgery has completely healed I would recommend waiting about six months. You would likely need a scar revision to remove it.

Answer: Residual areolar skin. Unfortunately excess Areolar skin in the vertical portion of a mastopexy will not resolve without re-excision. This is a simple procedure that can be done under aesthetic in about 15 minutes in the office.
