Wrinkling Around Areola After Mastopexy?

Some “wrinkling” around the areola is commonly seen after breast lifting surgery. This pleating effect arises after the surrounding breast skin is sutured to the (generally smaller) areola.  This pleating/wrinkling tends to dissipate over the course of the first few months after surgery.

 In regards to incision line care I would suggest that you run this question by your plastic surgeon who is ultimately responsible for your care. Some surgeons prefer the use of tape/pressure;  some prefer the use of silicone-based products;  some will advise only patience and time.
 

 I hope this helps.

It takes a few months for the tissues to relax, and wrinkling will eventually disappear after this. If there is still some wrinkling in three or four months, please see your surgeon. 

It is not uncommon to have some gathering of the areola (wrinkling) after the operation for several weeks.  As the swelling subsides, the wrinkling usually disappears.
