Removing Areolar Herniation? (photo)

June 6, 2012
Asked By:thylacine

I was wondering what the best approach is for fixing herniated areolas. I have tuberous breasts and though the shape of my breasts bother me, my herniated areolas bother me most. I was wondering if scoring the bottom breast tissue is enough to fix my tuberous breast shape and remove the herniation of my areolas? Or is it necessary for me to have my breast skin stretched out and have the really ugly circumareolar incision/scar that seems to accompany that method?
