Is there anything I can do to reduce the intensity of my nipple appearance? (Photo)

Hello, I suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to disscuss your concern. I would suggest areola reduction to make the areola smaller. This will descrease the size of your areola and hopefully correct your concerns.

You can consider an areola reduction to revise the hypertrophic scars and make the areola smaller. There is still a chance they could stretch again due to the tension on them from the implants. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

You could try micro-needling to help the scars. However, your overly large implants have stretched your areolae. If you go down in breast size, your areolae could be reduced to a smaller size.

Thanks for the question Sue. It is a more common one than you'd think for a patient who had a peri-areolar lift like you did. Dr. Ruter here from Syracuse Plastic Surgery in Syracuse NY. The implant pushes out of the breast tissue and areolas and this may have something to do with the widening of your areolas. The peri-areolar breast lift you had left the scar around the areola, and could be revised by a plastic surgeon to help shrink the size of your areolas. Widened areolas and areola scarring is a common outcome with periareolar breast lifts. Seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail.

To make an assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure, we usually need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before and after pictures and then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
I’m guessing outcome combination of having had an aggressive augmentation with naturally large areolas.From the incision line, it appears your surgeon attempted to reduce the size with a purse string suture.
The size of the implant may be contributing.
Reducing your areolas further, without doing a proper breast lift may be challenging.
Having chosen slightly more conservative implants may have helped to some degree.
It’s important to know where you started to understand The outcome accurately.
