When can I do breast lift surgery? I had an areola reduction procedure 7 weeks ago. (Photo)

Question

I am unhappy with the scars, I would also like to do a breast lift surgery, how long should I wait befor that?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Based on your picture it appears you needed  a full breast lift from the beginning, you don't need to wait to have your next surgery, consult with your a board certified PS for a much more detailed examination and evaluation best of luck!

Typically, it is best to wait at least 6 months before attempting any type of re-operation in the same area, otherwise, your risk of wound healing failure increases significantly. I'm guessing you shied away from undergoing a lift due to the unsightly vertical scars. I've attached a short video of what can now be achieved using current breast lifting technology that does not require the vertical scar component, risky breast implants, and much improved longevity. The patient below underwent a breast lift without implants and without fat transfers to the breast. I hope this helps.Best wishes and kind regards,

Thank you for your question. You look like you would benefit from a mastopexy, which would involve the removal of all of your existing scars and you can therefore consider having this surgery whenever you like. There is no reason for you to leave your existing scars to mature any more. An experienced surgeon will be able to show you how your operation would be designed and explain the scars that you would be left with.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
I would recommend to wait six months between surgeries, but remember that all depends on your health and lab tests.
l suggest you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

It doesn't appear that an areola reduction was an advisable procedure for you.  As I would be excising your existing scars & rearranging the tissue then I don't believe that you would need to wait at al for a revision procedure.  Be sure to see a plastic surgeon who is experienced in breast surgery to give you the best operation...and not perform any short cuts.  All the very best.
