I has breast implants along with a crescent lift on one nipple. it was lifted2cm I am 14 days post opp&am panicking as half my areola on the inside of my nipple seems to be missing with a greater deal of it on the outside, the actual opposite to my untouched nipple!? I thought it would improved at first but its not changed or moved in two weeks:( ive read the areola is not cut in this procedure but the an inch of skin above and some around,is this correct? dr said i need to wait if not redone?
