How often does scar reducing periareolar revision surgery work?

Question

Had periareolar reduction on A-B cup borderline chest 5 years ago. Super happy with the shape but the areolas and scars stretched and look obvious. Wanting a revision - surgeon 1 says thats common and worth a shot, surgeon 2 says 18/20 times he's done that, the scars and areolas stretch back out no matter how little you move in recovery. Is it worth trying the revision?

A nipple-areolar reduction is an effective method to address a widened nipple-areolar complex (NAC). While this surgery will reduce the size of the NAC, it's important to note that there might be a slight stretch after the surgery, but it generally won't return to its original size. This can provide a more desired aesthetic outcome if you're concerned about the appearance of your areolas post-initial surgery.

Hi, thanks for sharing your question. If it is possible to perform an areola revision, since the inflammatory process has already passed and the size of the breast is already maintained and a new deformation of the areola is less likely. I hope you consider this opinion
