Areola reduction surgery: does it increase the risk of late capsular contracture?

Question

I have just done breast augmentation with donut lift. My aeroras were huge and ugly to start with and it remained the same size aftee the surgery. I love everything about how my surgery went with the location and the size of implant minus big aeroras. I'd like to get a aeroras reduction surgery. My concern is, 1. Does it increase the risk of late CC?(since I have the implant) 2. How long should I need help until I can lift 30 pound kid?? Trying to see if it would be worth for it...thanks

You don't provide photos, but it sounds like you weren't a candidate for a donut lift. Either re-submit your question with photos or better, go on a few second opinion consultations.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Without photos it's difficult to say if you are a good candidate for this procedure.  If your implants are large they may be putting too much tension on the areola tissue and stretching it.  If this is the case and you keep the implant size the same it may reoccur with a subsequent areola reduction.  I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.
