Good day 5 months ago I had a vertical breast lift there was necrosis of the areola and wide scars were formed Is it possible to do a skin graft to restore the areola?

Answer: Revision Breast lift The areola can be tattooed. Your breasts appear to be asymmetric in size and have glandular dropout. Your breast shape can be vastly improved by converting to a full lift which will shorten the distance between areola and inframammary fold, repositioning breast tissue up above the nipple areolar complex. Vertical scars can be revised as well. After the revision, it is crucial to wear special retention tape (like Hypafix) for 2 to 3 months to support your scars so they heal as finely as possible.

Answer: Breasts after areola necrosis Dear AngelaLenorie, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
