Updated: I had a breast lift in Dec 2020.I'm 5'4,female 152lb.1.stretched out Areolas When I wear a bra my areola stick out. I don't think they re position down correctly and think they're either to big/high and into middle of my chest to much. 2) They look ugly and botched if I'm being honest, the patches are missing and discolored. The skin around the areola is wrinkly. Should I get a reduction/revised? I don't want a breast lift. I want to be like the brown bathing suit and not have to worry my areola
Answer: Breasts Your breasts have bottomed out and this appears that your areolae are too high, but they are in good position. I would suggest going smaller with a lift so that your previously stretched out tissue will support your breasts. You may need mesh. The areolae can be revised at the same time. If the breasts are not reduced and lifted, and you just repair the areolae, they will stretch again from the pulling of your breasts.

Answer: Revision From the photos the recommendation would be a revision to your reduction. This would include revising the areola. You could consider an autoaugmentation which uses your own tissue to give more upper pole fullness and improve shape. This is different from a fat transfer. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Areolar repositioning Hello and thank you for your question. It is very difficult to lower areolar position; however, from assessing your photos, by removing a horizontal wedge across the bottom of the breast (along the inframammary fold), that would reduce the amount of skin and tissue below the areolas and in my opinion, be the best way to rebalance the aesthetics of the breasts. The next best step is an in-person consultation with board certified plastic surgeon to do an exam and review your options.

Answer: Areola and scars Hello. Judging from the photos. It does not look like your area are too high, Although this can be confirmed on physical exam. It appears that your reduction/lift has bottomed out, and essentially most of the breast tissue has fallen below the level of the nipple/areola giving the appearance that the nipples are too high. Also, your scars appear to have had some hypertrophy which can occur if they are closed under tension or there were healing problems. Both of these issues can be addressed by Provision surgery. It is my opinion that you would not need to tissue expansion and multistage procedures. As always, I recommend seeking consultation with a board-certified, Plastic Surgeon. I wish you luck on your journey!
