What can be done to reverse the stretched appearance of a botched crescent lift? What can be done with this Frankenstein-areola?

I had a crescent lift on one side at the time of my implant placement 5 years ago. The lift was a huge mistake that I came to regret soon after my surgery, as the areola stretched out almost an inch bigger than my other. The weight of my large silicone 400cc textured implants stretched it out so that it looks grotesque compared to the other one. I had a revision crescent a short while later, but my doc used the same dissolving stitches and it stretched right back out!
