Hi I've done a breast lift without implants and my nipple got a very bad bruising right after surgery. Now after a month this is how my areola looks like. I'm so afraid that this will NEVER look like a normal nipple again and that both nipples will look completely different from each other.. My doctor wants to get it healed for itself for now... but my fear is that even after healing this will never look like before... I want a honest answer and how this will end up ... :(( I cry almost everyday

Answer: Nipple lost after breast lift no implants I am so sorry you are going through this complication. Rest assured that while, it "will never be the same", once healed - the open wound will shrink in size. Once healed, the scar can be excised and improve shape and appearance tremendously. Allow your body to heal itself and give it enough time before attempting a scar revision. It typically takes at least 6 months before you can safely attempt a revision. Obviously, the longer you wait - the better! As others have mentioned, tattooing can also significantly improve outcome after revision. I do hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards,

Answer: Healing I am so sorry you are having this issue. You do need to give yourself time to heal, and may be surprised at just how well you will heal. Options do exist to improve the final outcome of your areola once healed. Please let your surgeon keep a close eye on your progress.
