How to heal red dots around areolas after breast surgery? (photo)

March 3, 2018
Asked By:brbote in Los Angeles, CA

Hello, I had breast augmentation and areola reduction 8 weeks ago and the areolas are healing nicely except for these red dots which are taking long to go away. My doctor told me to wait and to use bio oil but I haven’t seen any improvement yet. Any suggestions or tips to make them less visible? Should I put ice on it or warm water or a cream that could help? Thank you all for your responses!
