Areola and nipple distortion after the breast lift (Photo)

Thank you for your question and sending picture. That's very helpful. It's difficult to answer your question without knowing exactly how your surgeon repaired this area. If an absorbable stitch was used, the NA complex will stretch from tension once the sutures disappear. I use a permanent Gortex Suture and reconstruct this area in a "pin wheel" fashion. This suture insures that the NA complex doesn't stretch and flatten with these forces. Your NA complex can be repaired quite easily in the office without having to do the three things you were contemplating. I hope that helped. Good luck. 

this is not uncommon with the type of lift you had performed. It would be more helpful to see your preoperative photos as well. Nevertheless, at this point, it appears a revision will likely be necessary.  Despite the technique, what appears to be necessary is removal of the tension from the nipple areola complex to allow for better projection, color match, skin texture match, etc. A couple of techniques will likely achieve this which could involve the addition of a vertical incision or placement of a permanent suture.  I'm sure your surgeon will be happy to work with you on options.  Best of luck and always make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with privileges at a local hospital and who does your procedure in a fully accredited facility !   You can never be too safe !
