Hello, I have just confirmed my breast augmentation with a circumareolar lift. I am nervous about the puckering that happens to the skin after the nipple is relocated. I'm wondering what determines if this effect will go away, how long does it typically take to go away? Will my breast still appear natural in that area? Does having this lift change the ability to breastfeed? Oh yeah, I will be almost 24 (by surgery date), 5'9" weighing 170 lbs, if this helps. Thank you so much for your feedback!
