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

January 1, 2016
Asked By:Tamara.L in New York, NY

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.
