Dent in Areola After Small Lift Will It Correct Its Self? (photo)

  The dent after circumareolar lift may be due to deeper sutures or asymmetry.  The puckering usually resolves.  In addition, over time, areola tend to the lengthen in the vertical direction.

Thank you for your question and photo.

Often times, small indentations / irregularities that you are experiencing do resolve with time as underlying sutures dissolve.  Since you are not able to contact the surgeon who performed your surgery and you have concerns, you may benefit from a consultation by a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.

Best Wishes.

The indentation that's shown on the photo is most likely from a deep suture placed to control the size of the areola. It's expected to get better with time. However, you should be able to make a follow up appointment to see your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns. In the case that the dent was caused by scar tissue retraction, it can still be revised to improve the look. With you being so early in your post operative course, I recommend that you keep follow up with your surgeon to monitor your recovery closely.

Best Wishes,
