Stretched Areolas After Benelli-- Is The Cause Not Enough Support Post Op?

March 5, 2012
Asked By:Luthien in Cape Town, South Africa

I had a Benelli mastopexy for my tuberous breasts (without BA) in December. I'm now 3 months post-op and my areolas are stretching out and beginning to take on their original shape, though only slightly thus far. I'm worried that it will continue to worsen. My surgeon never told me that I needed to wear a lot of support after surgery, so I didn't wear a bra for the first five days after the op, and never at night.Could this be at fault? Note: Scar is perfect, only the skin itself is stretching.
