What is this vein around my areola? Can I have a lift? (Photo)

Prominent veins are common on the breasts and these can be removed during a breast lift procedure. The vascularity of your breasts will be unchanged by a normal breast lift. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Prominent veins on the breasts are normal and will not prevent you from having a breast lift. Seek a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate. 

Such veins around the areola are completely normal.  It's possible to do surgery around them without difficulty, and it's even possible to remove them during such surgery if they bother a patient, without much consequence.

Hi, Ftely.  It seems like you have a fairly thin skin.  Everyone has veins in the breasts.  Your particular vein is located in superficial plane; since your breast skin is thin, it is more obvious to see the vein.  You can get lift.  The vein should not affect your surgery. Please visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn about breast lift.

Thanks for sharing your question and
photos. I can appreciate your concern.
The vein is simply a superficial outflow of blood from your
breast. It should not affect the main supply of blood to your breast nor your
nipple. The blood supply to these structures is deep and it should be ok with
your breast procedure.
Finally, make sure that you have a
consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in after
weight loss surgery.



Finally, make sure that your doctor is
aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.



Wishing you the best in your journey

Hello. The vein that is visible around your Argila is completely normal and does not preclude you from having a breast lift and areola reduction.  Seek consultation from a BCPS. Be well. Dr. B

It is hard to judge from these photos if you need a breast lift, better pictures are needed; lateral and front views.You have a prominent vein on the breast and often times I see it in the post gestational breasts.In the case of Mondor disease the vein(s) in the breast can get inflamed and indurate(thrombophlebitic).Is your vein tender?
