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.

This early wrinkling around the nipple and areola after a breast lift is very common and will improve with time and some conservative massage.
