Lift on one breast

ArickaRG · 08-27-2009, 01:01 PM

Hey everyone! i had a breast augmentation with a crescent lift on one side (left breast). So i am about 4 weeks out and my left areola is larger than my right and i am wondering if it is because of the lift or because my left nipple and most of my breast is still numb and the right side is always hard??? I had the crescent lift to make nipple even (and they are even) has anyone every had a areola redution on one side before?

I also had a lift on just one side. The areola on that side is much, much darker. I think that makes the areola look larger. I actually think there may also be a little swelling still. I am three weeks out. I go back to the dr. on Tuesday--hope to find out what's up. Also on that side, the areola and nipple are still completely numb.

With my first breast augmentation, I had a crescent lift on my left breast and no lift on the other. With my second, breast augmentation I had a full lift on the left breast and no lift on the other once again.

What I have noticed with both BAs is that the areola on the breast with the lift takes more time to heal, and during that time, it does not contract as easily as the areola on the breast without the lift. So, of course, it will look bigger sometimes. Is that what is going on with you? I think this will improve with time and healing. HTH?

Thanks for your post i am hoping when the feeling start coming back it will look smaller. It makes me feel better knowing that there is hope!

I'm in the same boat except I've had a lift on both sides. The right side is completely numb and looks bigger whereas the left has feeling and looks great. I hate my right areola! I'm sure when the feeling comes back it will look better
