Had implants done A to a D and love them but the right side where the insision is under the Areola pulls under and pulls the nipple down .... can it be fixed ?? Is it something done wrong ? My doc said if he goes back I’m it won’t get fixed .
Answer: Tethering of your areola to your muscles can be released percutaneously with a large pickle fork lipo cannula or scissors dissection through a small incision and fat grafting used to help prevent tissues from reattaching. If this was not appropriate or did not work, you're looking at a more formal procedure where you have to return to the OR and the scar is revised and muscles released at that time. Your surgeon is correct in that going back in doesn't guarantee you won't have residuals or persistence.
