I had a lollipop breast lift w/ areola reduction & implants 3 months ago. I know it takes months for scars to settle, however I am having 3 issues: 1) The scarring isn't looking as great or as round on one breast. Isn't this fixable? 2) There is a discoloration of my skin on both breasts right underneath the areolas that looks the same color as my areola. Why did this occur, and can it be fixed? 3) The incision at the bottom of my breasts keeps opening up and oozing (2nd picture). What can I do?
