Puffy areola after surgery. What to do? (photo)

Had scar revision on my right areola 5 months ago with permanent suture. Now my areola is puffy and wrinkled, but the weird thing is, when I do massage the puffyness goes away leaving the areola flat, but some time later is puffy again. Why this happening? is this issue permanent? What to do to sort this out? Thank you.

You do seem to have inverted nipples, which can be treated in a variety of ways, but not with implants. My personal recommended procedure is a medical piercing. Please see the link below for more information.

Many thanks for your suggestion.I am unaware of any topical products that can alter the colour of your nipple. I would recommend medical tattooing to achieve the colour change you're looking for.I do hope this helps

Thank you for the question. Nipple reduction is an excellent procedure for the patient suffering from prominent nipples. This procedure can reduce the height and width of the nipple, usually preserving sensation. It can be done under local anesthesia or in combination with other procedures...
