Is left over areola down suture line common after augmentation? Moderate plus profile, 355 and 405 CC. (Photos)

Occasionally women who have a augmentation/lift combination with large aerola will have some aerola retained in order to safely close the incisions. Once your tissues adjust and relax this aerola will be able to be trimmed out with a minor revision. Discuss with your surgeon and he will probably do this for minimal cost. We surgeons like happy patients with nice final results.Congrats on your nicely improved arms. Good luck.

Unfortunately, it is often the case where a plastic surgeon is unable to remove all of the areola and a lift or breast reduction procedure. Usually the plastic surgeon will do his or her very best to remove as much of the aerial as possible but If too much skin is removed, The risk of wound healing problems is even higher than at baseline.

Yes, left over areola sometimes is present on the vertical scar. This can be revised once your tissue relax if you wish and can be done in the office under local anesthesia.
