Hi! I think my case is complex and this pic is embarrassing for me to post. I have had multiple procedures over time (BA, BL, subsequent areola reduction, permanent makeup). But now the color has faded, my areolas stretched out and I am left with very irregular contour. Can't live like that anymore. What should I do? Just permanent makeup? Or areola reduction again? How can I make sure the results last this time? I am even willing to have complete areola removal at this point. Thank you!

You have two options: the first is to revise your surgery to include a vertical limb to reduce the size of your areola. The second is to use topical scar treatments such as Sequel Scar Defense and Sequel Dark Scar Corrector followed by fractional laser.

Dear atlsag99,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
