I initially had a donut Lift and implants. A few years later The doctor had to do a revision because the implants were bottoming out and as you can see it the nipples were just so terrible. Is there anyway to correct it once and for all without it stretching back out again?

Answer: Stretching out of the nipple areola complex after circumareolar mastopexy Thank-you for your query. It is very common to have stretching out of the areola after a circumareolar mastopexy. The best solution is to reduce the areola and add a short vertical scar. I have done it several times in this situation with stable, long-lasting results. Please discuss your options with your Plastic surgeon who can help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: Donut mastopexy Thank you for your question. There are some techniques that can be used when performing a donut mastopexy that can limit the amount of areolar stretching. However, as the areola are cut and the implant is constantly pushing on the backside of the areola it is likely that the areola will stretch over time. The key is to limit the stretching. You would benefit from a areola reduction and lift, if you were opposed to the trade off of adding more scars for a better shape of your breasts. Good luck.
