Ok these are some more pictures further away. I have been feeling extremely down about my boob job lately. Like I said in my last post I am self conscious about my areolas and it is affecting my life to be honest .. as dumb as that sounds. I think I would like my look a lot better if my areols were just tinier like they were before. This isn't really even the look I was going for - I wanted fake looking boobs. These are more natural which I can live with but I cannot live with my areolas. I'm very depressed I have to spend more money on yet another surgery to fix them. If anyone has any similar stories or suggestions for me I would love to hear them.

I knew I wanted to go with Dr. Lazzaro the second I met him. He is a complete perfectionist. Not only is he brilliant, but he is down to earth and easy to explain things to. I was first all over the place and then very OCD about exactly what I wanted and he accommodated me every time I was questioning something and even called me on his day off to reassure me I had picked the right procedure for the look I wanted and didn't need to spend the additional money on something that wasn't needed (the full lift.) He had more than two consolulatations with me to explain the same things because I would get scared or nervous but he and his staff (Lisa) were wonderful. This goes without saying but as you can assume by my review already, the offices, surgery center and spa are extremely classy and impeccable. Compared to other people on here, not only are my results outstanding but my down time was non existent. Wouldn't even consider someone else if I ever need anything done again.

I had my areola revision on the 13th and so very happy with the results so far. This time dr. used permanent sutures (Gore-tex) instead. That might be all you need to fix your areolas and I got a little more lift too!

hey the exact same thing happened to me but I only had benelli to left breast and now I have one huge scarred areola and one small and beautiful. I totally feel you, I can't live with it, it has ruined my confidence and psychology for good! I had benelli lift-reduction done again and same thing happened AGAIN. I am now searching for a solution, I have even considered asking a surgeon to cut my nipple off, I hate everything about it. Maybe a vertical mastopexy would solve the problem but again I am not sure. If anyone knows how to fix this please help.

It has been one yr since my surgery. My breast look ok, but I absolutely hate my nipples. They are huge and scarred. I can't even take my shirt off in front of my boyfriend unless I have some sort of nipple cover on. Is their anything that can fix this? I'm extremely worried.

I totally feel for you, I too am in a similar situation. How did you care for your scars while they were healing? Maybe you had an impeccable scar refine and they stretched out because you didn't have saggy/loose enough skin to begin with. Good news is scars can be revised. Have you talked to Your Surgeon?

I agree you should consult with your surgeon. You can definitely have a revision under local or may possibly need to exchange for smaller implants and then revise. Hopefully it's just an easy fix for you especially since your areolas were perfect size before.

I had the exact same procedure done at Aestique, but It was the month prior when Dr Antimarino was still there. My nipples have done the exact same thing as yours :-( I have a revision surgery scheduled next month with another doctor who told me that it's not the best idea to do a Benelli lift with a larger implant (I have 400 cc hp silicone under muscle) because of what can happen to the nipple (exactly what has happened to ours). I read through your earlier posts and noticed that you felt maybe you needed a full lift and I too felt that way, but was pushed toward the Benelli lift, and I trusted the Dr. Because he was the one that spent years in school and was trained to know these things as I was not.

Thank you for sharing that with me. Do you mind me asking how much your revision is and where your getting it ? I'm pretty upset I have to spend more money on this when I could have just got the full lift in the first place and I'm not sure I can afford it right now l :(

Hello! I just wanted to update everyone on my progress. I still have lots of scarring around my nipples.. I am quite uncomfortable and embarrassed about it so I'm hoping after a year it will fade more or I will have to get some type of scar removal? Not sure how that all works.. I just feel like my nipples are huge. Overall I do like the look, I think if my nipples were smaller I would be much more satisfied

I think they look lovely! It's good to hear from you. How do you like their shape and feel? Are you happy with your size now that they have dropped and fluffed?
