Montgomery Glands Migrating After Mastopexy - Any Solutions? (photo)

June 3, 2012
Asked By:Kentucky Lady

I had mastopaxy with implant under the muscle 2 years ago; 6 months ago I noticed the Montgomery glands on the outer and lower quadrant are moving upwards towards the nipple. One Montgomery gland on the inner upper quadrant is moving away from the areola. The one moving away bothers me the most, but I wonder if this migration will continue, and especially can the one be stopped?
