Can an areola be fixed to look rounder after a breast lift? (photos)

Thank you for your picture and questions. I think that with an explant, the issue with the areola shape and appearance is not so much an issue with the scar not being rounded but with there being a loss of volume underneath the nipple which is creating a "caved-in" appearance. I would discuss the possibility of something to correct the volume deficiency such as fat grafting. If when you push on the skin around the nipple, it rounds out, then you have a volume problem, not a scar problem. Discuss the options with your surgeon.Best of luck!Dallas R.

Hello. Great question. Thank you for your pictures. I will suggest waiting at least six months to examine your final results before looking into another surgical procedure. Good luck with your recovery.

Dear dg4865,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination, but based on your photos it it most likely that you have some scar tissue under the areola which is pulling it. Also, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.
Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery. If this remains the same, you might need a revision surgery in order to correct it.

Thank you for your question and for providing photos!First, it is important to wait around 6 months to see your final results. There is a chance the shape can change a bit on its own. After that, there is the option to revise!  

Thanks for your inquiry and pictures, yes your areola can be revised, six months is long enough time. 

Yes, once you are at least 6 months from surgery, the areola can be revised to be reshaped and this can be done in the office under local anesthesia.

Hello, and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) Yes. Scar revision or revision lift can be done to make the areola look rounder. If you decide to pursue surgery it’s very important that you find a surgeon whom you are comfortable with and trust and who evaluates you in-person and tailors an individualized treatment plan for you and your aesthetic goals. Best of luck!

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Yes, your areola can be revised, but I would recommend to wait six months, because it is too early to determine your final results.
l suggest you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Even with the poorly exposed 1 posted photo you can have revision of the N/A to be rounder. But in person examination required before finial steps toward revision surgery. 

First, I would wait at least 6 months for the tissues to soften and to see how the shape changes. It then is possible of adjust the circle if necessary.  If there is not enough tissue to do so( let's say short on the height or width, then perhaps tattooing is an option.
