Areola scar and shape of breast. Can anything be done? (Photo)

sunmSep 5, 2021
Hi all I had tuberous breast (Severe) and had correction by implants and areola reduction. The shape at the bottom of one breast is not round but surgeon said nothing can be done. Can anything be done?? Also, My areola had bad scars and stretched out, appearing tuberous again and I felt very uncomfortable. I have had revision of the areola and scars this year but what can I do to make sure it doesn’t get any worse with scaring. Does it look ok post two months of areola scar revision
