Can the crease around the areola be removed with laser? Had a breast lift and breast augmentation. (photo)

Question

I had a breast lift and breast augmentation using fat grafted from my inner thighs. The creases around the areola clearly visible, is this something that can be removed by laser treatment?

Dear kittyvic,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast lift surgery. However, based on your photos, it looks like 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.

Usually, the creases disappear as you heal. If you are past 3 months from surgery, then you could try micro-needling.

Give it six months and then reassess.  I suggest you review with your provider during your postop visit.

I just had surgery.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
