MR. NIP QUESTION

[gyneman]

Hi Mr. Nip!! Firstoff, I hope you are healing well and your revision went well. I have a question for you since we both had the same areola reduction surgery. I am 5 weeks post-op now and I took off the steristrips last week. I am a little bit upset how the healing is coming along. When you were healing, did you notice any redness around the areola, meaning that I have red/purple line scars not on the incision line but extending outside the incision line...hmmm??? I wonder what type of scar treatment you used and how was the outcome. Did you have similar scarring?? Thanks for your help!!

If anyone else wants to chime in , that would be great.

I hope your still on the forum Mr. Nip. Has anyone else had this happen with areola reduction.

i had exactly that on my right and ive been trying to get rid of it..like i said in a previous post, im using the silicone strip at night the doc gave me to try, i massage cocoa butter in before i shower and than i put on mederma that i got at the grocery store..it seems to be fading and flattening a little bit..just can't expect miracles and give it time i guess, we did have surgery

Gyneman, thanks I'm doing alright.  I've just been taking a little breather from all the manboob talk.  Starting to drive me a little bonkers, if you know what I mean. 

I had some redness that extended beyond the areola incision but it goes away over time.  I don't think there's any one special trick to massaging.  Just do it frequently and work more on the areas that don't look or feel right.  Me thinks you'll be fine.

Thanks for the reply Mr. Nip. What type of scar treatment did you use. And I hear what your saying about the manboob talk. I think after I'm healed, I'm going to leave this site. It's starting to drive me nuts as well...Thanks again
