Chances of re-stretching after areola reduction and implant reduction?

Dear annalondon2234,
there is smaller chance of scar stretching if you are downsizing implants. Scar prevention begins in the OR during the surgery when I meticulously close wounds in multiple layers in order to reduce tension and reduce scars width. I tape my incisions during the early postoperative period to reduce micromotions of the tissues so the incision can heal earlier. I also use compression garments and later Biocorneum gel.

1. 100% chance of areolar re-expansion
2. Motiva Ergonomix implants are round. Regardless, the shape of an implant has no effect on breast shape.
3. The result of periareolar reduction and lifting will not lift the areola, will not lift the breast, and will flatten the overall breast mound.
4. Scarring is frequently a problem, with wide scars that are pleated.
So what to do? Do it right. Remove and replace your implants via an inframammary incision and perform a full mastopexy. If you go to an expert, you will not regret it, unlike your current plan.

Yes, going smaller, you will have much less chance of your areolae stretching since there is nothing to stretch them. Plus, with smaller implants, you will have less sag potential.
