My breast is flatenned after a periareolar pexia. Will it change? (Photos)

Question

I had a breast augmentation 6months ago, but I didn't like the result, cause my breast is a bit tuberous and the areolas were so low and herniated.4days ago I had a periareolar pexia to sort it out. My breast shape is now so flattened. Maybe it is not so noticeable in the pictures. My implants have been under my muscles for 6 months, so they are not going to expand so much more. Keeping this is mind, I would like to know if my breast shape could change in the next months. Thank you very much.

Periareolar mastopexy has one aesthetic disadvantage which is the flattening of the mid part of the breast. Unfortunately, this is something that does not change much with time.

Dear Warmhearted9542,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast lift surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

4 days still to early for our final results, wait at least 30 days when the inflammation is at it minimum

Have a great recovery

The peri areola mastopexy does tend to have a flattening effect on the breast. However, at 4 days it is too early to assess the results of surgery.  You need to allow more time weeks to months to allow the swelling to settle and the breasts to take on their new shape.If you have concerns then it is best to discuss them with your PS.Best wishes
