Areola is Too High! - Miami

$6,000

I had my breast lift 3 months ago. I am very consider now because my areola pops out of my clothes and bra consistently. It seems to me that my implant sagged more than expected, so now it appear as my areola is too high. I also lack fullness on the top, which I was hoping for a result.

I would like to know your opinion and what can I do to correct this procedure. Thank you !

I believe my breast bottomed-out (sagged more than expected) therefore it appears that my areola is too high?

Have you returned to your surgeon? It is early after your surgery and a good time period to wait is 6 months. You may require another Lift to - tighten the envelope, and reduce the areolar size with a permanent suture. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD
Wow, I am so amazed how much your breasts looked like mine, I had the same EXACT problem to the T. My areola was always popping out of my clothes too lol, they stretched, and I lacked fullness on top. I'm not sure if you have saline but I did and I was able to completely feel the bag on the bottom even the ripples. You are going to need a revision to tighten everything up again. I had an anchor lift about 5 months ago and I just had my revision 3 weeks ago. He had to re-do the anchor lift again, this time I felt everything tighter and woke up in more pain, I initially had 300cc saline implants but went with 500cc silicone with the 2nd surgery. I am very pleased with the new results, my breast look great. If there's any questions I can help you with, feel free to ask. I have my before and after pics if you are interested. I've been there and know how it feels. I am from Miami as well, it would be crazy if we had the same surgeon. Oh and how many ccs do you have??
Sorry, for the delay! So there is someone you had the same problem as me. I have 225cc, which is not much. I have been back to the doctor and we his going to do a revision, we are just waiting for the year mark, in june 2010.
Yes and I got a revision and now it happened again =( I hope it doesnt happen to you. And I'm so embarrassed I haven't even gone back to my Dr.
I honestly think they look fantastic. I just had a lift 7 days ago (no implant) and my nipples seem very high...wish mine looked like yours!!! I'm waiting patiently but fear I will be popping out of everything! If I were you I really would just see how you feel in 6 months because any guy would drool over yours:-) I have large areoles as well (I asked to keep them somewhat large) and they are so high I think push-up bras are out, but yours look great to me.

The areola look large and the distance from the bottom of the areola to the inframmary crease looks too long. The horizontal scar is not in the crease. I would guess that you will need a revision. These observations, if they are correct, will not change. You would be best served, however, to let the inflammation from the first operation settle down a bit. Possible, but not likely, your situation will improve.

From the pictures provided, it appears as though your areola are at the correct level. However, I think you are right that you implants may have bottomed out a bit. Either the implants are too heavy for your breast, or you simply do not have bresat tissue to support the implant. This can be corrected, but I would wait at least 6 months.
Your breasts look great!! You are being way to critical. Its better they be a little high then pointing downwards. Im planning on having a breast lift in march to correct mine. I wish they looked like that!!! And you do have fullness at the top, they are not huge but too big is gross anyways! good luck
