Best way to eliminate brown 'stripes' left by areola tissue post breast lift 5 weeks post op? (photos)

Asked By:Nart89 in Pennsylvania, PA

I had a breast lift 5 weeks ago. All of my scars are healing well except the vertical ones. I asked my doctor and he said the brown stripes are from remaining areola tissue. He had mentioned this just before surgery, however I was not aware it would be so noticeable. What are the best ways to eliminate these brown stripes? How much would it cost? He mentioned 'trimming' them or a laser to lighten them. I would like other opinions and more details on options if possible. Thank you!
