I had areola reduction done and the permanent stitch undid so my left areoles was double the size of other. 6 months after I had surgery again to match the areolas same story happened so 6 months after that I had both done again because I wanted them both smaller and too match. Is having surgery in same area 4 times (Every 6 months) bad? I am now thinking of getting implants and areoles reduction at same time yet I'm concerned it's too many times and areoles won't be as small as I want

Answer: Too many revisions on areolas There is truth to your concern that having too many breast surgeries can be hazardous to a good outcome. That being said with your type of breast surgery (donut mastopexy) it is common that the scarring can spread because there is too much tension on that one incision. You will benefit from a full mastopexy (anchor scar) so that the incision itself has less tension on it, therefore creating a smaller line as it heals. Make sure you seek in person consultations with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons who peform a lot of revision breast surgeries, especially lifts. Best of luck to you!!

Answer: Multiple breast surgeries Thank you for the question and the photos and multiple surgeries are not what is at issue here but the overall plan of surgery and I would go on other consults and get some second opinions as to how best to procede so as to avoid more surgery in the future.Dr. Corbin
