I had breast implants&a crescent lift on one side to bring my nipple up 1 1/2cm to in line with my other nipple. i so unhappy with the results, it seems to have made the areola much longer& fatter on one side,thinner on the other I have since been told on here by different surgeons that they are not recommended&where abandoned along time ago.i had a good surgeon so i cant understand? From experience does the areola stay the same as it looks three weeks in or will it completely change when heals?

I would endorse the use of a product called Mepitac which is a kind of inexpensive silicone tape. You can buy a 9 foot roll of this product for < $30 and reapply as needed. Google search "mepitac" and you can find online vendors to order it. You won't be disappointed.
You seem to miss your surgeon's point, and are asking reasonable questions. Your dissolving stitches use your own body's moisture to dissolve, not external moisture. Once your incisions are sealed (usually by 3-4 days if everything is healing properly), external moisture doesn't get...
At one month post-op, the rest of your incision have healed pretty durably, so things aren't going to "fall apart" or cause a problem, UNLESS this tiny hole is allowed to become a portal for infection entering the still-healing tissues beneath the opening.
This is most likely...
