Areolar Incision After Breast Lift

There’s a “hole” around my areolar incision after Breast Lift, Is this normal? (photo)

Breast Lift in Tualatin, OR

Keep in mind that I am quite pale and even the smallest scrapes look red and terrible when I get hurt! That being said, I had a breast lift done exactly 3 weeks ago and now notice this spot around my areolar incision. I had something similar underneath my breast last week which has since cleared up. Does this look alarming or should it heal on its own as the other “hole” did?

Not uncommon.

I generally tell all patients to expect some minor wound healing issues at the top and bottom of the vertical incision after a breast with with implants. They generally are extremely small in nature but sometimes can get quite large especially in smokers At this point, I assume your plastic surgeon is actively involved. However, this is likely a situation that would only require a topical antibiotic cream and extra healing time. In the end, it should look very good.
