I had a lift through the aerola also known as a donut lift. I am 5 months post op .. do I need a revision ? (photo)

Question

My Dr said he only glued my nipples back on because sowing them was causing blisters. They have not healed correctly . They are very puffy/bubbly and stick out through every shirt. Is there a way to correct this. I feel like I have tuberculosis!! I wish I would have never touched my nipples.

The best answer you can get is from an in-person consultation for a detailed exam and evaluation continue to follow up with your PS. to go over your options.

I'm sorry you are going through this. It may be possible to revise but in the meantime you can try using silicone nipple/areola covers to help flatten areola. You can find them anywhere now (Target, Walmart, or any bra boutique). I hope this helps.Best wishes and kind regards.

Dear missambi,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Tuberculosis is primarily a lung infection and you do not want this ever. Your areolae look fine, but could be flatten more if you want. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
