benelli and areola reduction ladies please help! - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

Hi ladies -
I'm one week out from a BA with a slight benelli lift and an areola reduction. My areolas are definitely smaller than they were, but they look TERRIBLE! They are horrible puckered and lumpy, and look very much like what Frankenstein's nipples would have looked like if he had any!

The PS warned me that there would be some lumpy scarring at first, but that it would quickly resolve itself. I just hadn't expected it to look THIS bad. Please, please, please tell me if you had this happen, and if you ended up with good results after a few months. I'm freaking out a bit here!

Idk but im getting the same thing w/my ba im afraid of the scar too but I know with time it will get better

One week is still very early and I think it would be strange if they didn't look a bit freaky. There's still plenty of time for them to heal over smoothly and nicely and they usually do. More often than not what you see early on is nothing like what you get a couple months down the line. Try not to get too discouraged.

Please dont worry, I had pretty bad puckering after my benelli lift, my PS suggested keeping them taped down (which I did for around 6 weeks). Now they are completely flat.

I have a yahoo group and put up my 6 month scars today if you are interested. PM me and I will send you the link, no worries.

(Itll be worth waiting, hard as it seems right now, I am sure, cause I felt the same!!! )

i'm 2 months out, and mine look far better than they did 1 week out. i was able to see the scar line all the way around through my top when i went braless, and i noticed the other day that they have smoothed almost completely out now.

Thanks for making me feel better, ladies. I knew that it wouldn't look gorgeous right away, I just hadn't seen any pictures of just how hideous the early scarring would be.

Nikki - I may just be being a new idiot here, but I can't figure out a way to PM you. I think that it's because I'm not an elite member. I am glad to hear, though, that at 6 months you are happy. How many months did it take until you felt like you were getting even close to normal (and by normal, I mean not so scary!!) What did you use to tape your nipples? Steri strips? My PS doesn't want me to use ANYTHING on mine, but based on a lot of other research that I've been doing, I'm considering trying scarguard in another week or two.

Thanks everyone!
