Posted under Breast Lift q&a

1 year post breast lift, my nipple is scarred pretty badly, can I have it stretched and scar tissue cut out? (photos)

bad luck with DRs
I had a breast lift about a year ago. I'm satisfied with the overall shape but the right nipple had terrible scaring. It is surrounded by scar tissue now with only a little nipple tissue in the middle. I tried nipple tattooing but it didn't seem to take and I would prefer to have actual nipple tissue if possible. I read you can have it stretched and cut out the scar tissue. Is that true? I'm really embarrassed by the way it looks now. Please help.
