Having areola reduction the third time. Are there any health risks? Will the scars look worse?

Asked By:Exuberant140885 in Los Angeles, California

Areola reduction the third time I had the first areola reduction about a year ago (without permanent sutures so they stretched out) . Then after six months my surgeon did the surgery again with Gora-tex sutures. Now, after 4 months (from the second surgery) one of the areolae is stretched out again. My surgeon is advising me to do the surgery again to one of the breasts to reduce the one that has stretched out. Will the scars look even worse? Are there other health risks? How is it possible ?
