Answer: Areola hanging after surgery Dear helen678,based on your photos, you will probably need a surgery to reduce the size of your areolas and to correct the problem. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. You will get the best recommendations after a thorough examination.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery

Answer: Areola It appears that you have a scar around the lower portion of your areola. Did you happen to have your implants placed through that incision? However, debulking your nipple may be a possibility. Some patients after an augmentation may want to have this done to reduce the amount of projection behind the areola. I would suggest you consult with your ASPS Plastic Surgeon to get an in person opinion with a price quote. I wish you the best of luck!
