Female 28. Should I get areola reduction/revised? (Photo)

Question

I had a breast lift back in Dec 2020. I’m 5’4,female 152lb. 1) stretched out Areolas. When I wear a bra and they left in the bra my aerola stick out. I don't think they're position down correctly and think they're either to big or high and into medial to much. 2) They look ugly and botched if I'm being honest , the patches are missing and discolored. The skin around the aerola as well is wrinkly. Should I get a reduction/revised? How much is it? Local/general anesthesia?

Dear Thaliabaqbj13,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

Your areolae appear to be sitting too high since your breasts have bottomed out and are sagging. The lift, with a small reduction to decrease the weight of your breast, can be repeated and the areolae scars can be revised at the same time.

Based on the submitted photos it appears you would be a better candidate to have the lift revised.  This would also include correcting the areola.  It appears you may have some volume asymmetry that could be addressed with this procedure as well.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
