I am 31 and had 300 ml round textured silicone implants put in 10 years ago. I used to be an A cup now a C cup. Afterwards, I had areola reduction done in a separate procedure to fix my enlarged puffy areolas using a purse string suture that broke on the right side immediately after the procedure and led to a stretched out scar.
