Areola reduction 22 year old, Sweden

Hi Nina, I hope you're recovering well. I too had an areola reduction and it takes time to heal and see results so try to be patients haha. I'm 7 months post-op now and I'm still not 100% recovered, I'm actually looking into having a revision done as my surgeon did not really correct the 'puffy' look to my areolae, also known as herniated areolae. My advice to you is to keep the tape on for at least 2 weeks and ultimately listen to your surgeon! I do hope your journey is a smooth one and I'll be sure to follow your progress x

I thought your areola looked beautiful both before and after

Perfect shape

I thought they looked beautiful before the surgery. Looks great now though...I wish mine looked like yours did prior to the surgery

Are these your natural boobs? Your shape is amazing if so!! I would never wear a bra if my boobs looked this perky! Wow. I hope your recovery is going better.

Looking good Nina, being patient is the worst part as you just want to see the end result but time will soon tell and I’m sure you’ll be over the moon! Xx

Hi there Great result. I wonder what they look like now?are the scars okay?did they stay the same size or stretched?

Awh Nina, I'm sorry to hear that you are so unhappy with them and I 100% understand. But you are still so early on in your journey, I know you've heard it so many times but be patient. I feel like from the initial size of your breasts prior to surgery you probably would have been better off with the traditional mastopexy, as the areolar lift is done on rather small breasts as with bigger ones the areolae tend to stretch. I have even found this out myself as my right areola is slightly bigger than my left (my right boob is a little bigger than my left). I am seeking to get my revision done hopefully this or next month, but do keep tracking and posting your journey. Don't give up hope x

I feel like this is one of the down sides to plastic surgery. I think your before pictures were fine, although I understand the self image doubt and unhappiness. I do feel that it was unwise to attempt a reduction. Any update on the results?

Was it a silicone scar tape you were using to help heal your scars? Maybe you had an allergic reaction to it? My scars were very sensitive to it to and I stop using it. I was using Scar Away and a lovely lady on here gave me a tip to remove it in the shower w/soap and water. It help it from irritating my scars a bit. I just went back to using Bio-Oil and/or Cocoa Butter w/Vit E when I remember. I had a BL/BA in 7/2017 (full anchor incision). I developed open wounds under my breasts at the T junction. You can read my profile anytime to read all about it. The scars are healing nicely considering what I went through. Good luck w/everything and thank you for sharing your journey with us on RS. Happy continued healing dear. ❣️❤️❣️Stay strong and you look beautiful!
