I had a lift with implants in 2016. About a year or two later I started to notice dark skin reappearing under my areola. It's the same exact color as my areola but I figured it was scarring/keloids forming. It is not raised or hard. A few months ago my OBGYN saw it and said she thought It is the areola skin growing back to wear my areola/nipple placement previously was. Is that what it is? If so, what are my options to get rid of it? Only surgical Scar revision?

The lower part of your breast with the higher nipple does hang down more. If this were shortened, your nipple might not appear to be as high without having to move the nipples. Please discuss this with your surgeon.
Hi, thanks for your question. What I think your surgeon is intending to do is to take a wedge of skin out of the lower pole of your breast with the higher nipple to reduce the nipple to fold distance and so lower the nipple on that side. This is unlikely to cause stretch marks. This may improve...
