periareolar scar reducing revision surgery experiences?
Hey, I'm looking for advice/experiences around a peri-areolar revision surgery.
I had periareolar 5 years ago or so. The shape and position is perfect (shoutout to Kneeshaw in the UK) but the areolas and the scars around them have stretched significantly. I don't have the confidence to go shirtless which was something I'd really hoped for from surgery. :(
I had a consult with Brendan Wooler, very jolly guy at the same hospital. He said they often get the complaint about scars/areolas stretching out over time post-peri, and they will perform revision surgeries 'at least a couple of times' in hopes of getting the desired look. I moved countries since then though, so I thought I'd try and find a surgeon here.
The surgeon here (van der Sluis) seems legit and sensible, super friendly, but he said 'I'm a lot less optimistic about the results than Wooler', and that 18 of the 20 times he's performed this sort of revision, the scars stretch back out. 'No matter if you keep the T-rex arms all the time, no matter if you stick to the exact instructions'. He suggested just getting the shape of them fixed with a smaller surgery under local anaesthetic, and getting the scars medically tattooed to camouflage them.
At the time I agreed, but I am now wondering if I should still give those odds a shot since I have no body confidence right now at all, and scar tattooing has to be repeated every few years. I would obviously prefer local anaesthetic and a smaller surgery (although I'm sure it won't hurt as much as the real deal did), but I don't want to regret that I would never have known whether a revision would have worked out perfectly. I am also a little concerned that the areola position could change, because like I said I am happy with that aspect of it.
For my first surgery, I was told from day one to perform regular physio stretches that were much too drastic (touching your hand to your back over your shoulder!?) which I blindly obeyed. One areola got infected and lost some skin. There was no scar tape or silicone strips either, which the new surgeon recommends. I think I had pretty bad conditions for healing the first time, and wonder if it's worth a shot under these better circumstances.
My question is: have you had a scar-reducing/areolar-reducing revision to peri? Or have you heard about any success rates for it? I want to know whose odds to trust - whether Wooler was too positive or van der Sluis is overly pessimistic. Thanks in advance!

Honestly? I wish artists would start drawing more than just the usual double incision scars for characters with top surgery. What about peri-areolar? Fishmouth? Keyhole? I want to see more characters with my kind of scars...

WIP WEDNESDAY!!! >:D
(Shhhhh it's thursday I know, I forgot to post this, time isn't real shhhhhhh)
Thank you @swearingcactus for tagging me!!! Podcaster lil guy v looks so happy doing his silly little sidehustle 🥺
I don't tend to draw my Vs very much because I can just take pictures of them doing funny stuff, and my drawing motivation can be very iffy 😅
My D&D characters get a lot more drawing love in that regard because they are just! In my head!!! And if I wanna share I have to draw them!!!!
So here is WIP Vault Dweller V (aka Vault) since I usually make a character design sheet for all my player characters. I have him in his outfit just post crawling out of the vault, though the campaign is taking place 6 months-1 year after that. I also have him shirtless with a revolver in the classic V™️ pose so I can show off his tattoos and top surgery scars (I'm giving him peri-areolar scars because that's what I have and I can project on my characters however I want >:D)
Tumblr media
Aside from that I don't have any more Cyberpunk related WIPs, but I do have a different D&D character WIP! This is the Candy King, he is for an Adventure Time inspired D&D mini-campaign! He doesn't have much a backstory yet, he is just a candy cane wizard who really wants to rule over a candy kingdom.
Tumblr media
Also as a self indulgent treat, here is a doodle sheet from a DIFFERENT D&D thing where my character had his body taken over by another person's soul! I kept thinking about the Johnny and V parallels because my brain is like that.
Tumblr media
Anyway, thanks for indulging me and my silly doodles! Of course no pressure for @cyberholic77 @cyb3rcl0wnz @wingedhorrors if you wanna join in (sorry if you were already tagged!) As well as anyone else who wants to share! I love seeing everyone's work :D

anyway unrelated to everything but just because i remembered. i Hate the way people talk about scars. like they’re Dirty and Bad and Ugly and if you have a scar it’s Gross and you’re Gross. i have Many scars and! seeing people talk shit about even hypothetical scars they COULD have in the future isn’t fun.
i don’t really Think about it a lot because it’s been there as long as i can remember and it’s not in an open location but. i have a pretty big, kinda jagged scar on my stomach from when i had surgery as a baby. it’s not too long— maybe 3 inches?— but if i’m not wearing something to cover it it’s Very noticeable.
i also have a bunch of stretch marks! they’ve mostly faded to be basically my skin color because of how long i’ve had them, but they’re still clearly there. you can see them, you can feel them. plus all the other little scars i have that are from things i can’t even remember.
if i’m lucky, i’ll be able to get top surgery relatively soon. it won’t be one of the “small” procedures, like peri-areolar or keyhole. i’ll very likely have to get buttonhole, double incision, or inverted-t, depending on what would be best for me medically. the scars aren’t gonna be anywhere near unnoticeable. and that should be okay.
people shouldn’t be afraid of scars. people shouldn’t be disgusted by scars. they can happen to anyone anywhere at any time. they’re natural. they’re inherently neutral physical traits that a person can have. even a close relative of mine wanted a natural birth so she wouldn’t have c-section scars because she thinks they’re ugly.
you don’t have to love them, you don’t have to think they’re beautiful. just. stop spreading this. fear and hatred of scars. and stop spreading fear and hatred of people’s physical traits in general. i dunno. it’s tiring seeing everyone hate things that are inherently a part of you all the time.

Understanding Breast Augmentation: Types, Implants, and Surgical Techniques  
Breast augmentation is a common cosmetic surgery that tries to improve the size and form of the breasts. It is widely sought after by women who want to boost their self-esteem, establish better body proportions, or restore breast volume lost due to pregnancy, weight loss, or age.  
If you are considering breast augmentation in Dubai, it is crucial to understand the various types of implants and surgical methods involved to make an informed decision.  
In this post, we will look into the essential features of breast augmentation, offering you helpful information.  
Why Do Women Have Breast Augmentations?  
There are several reasons why you may desire or want to have breast augmentation surgery, including:  
To make your breasts look larger if you believe they are too little.  
If one of your breasts is smaller than the other, you can modify their symmetry.  
To account for breast size reduction after pregnancy or significant weight loss.   
To repair any irregularities or abnormalities with your breasts following breast surgery for another ailment.  
To boost your self-esteem and confidence.  
Types of Breast Implants  
Various types of breast implants are available for breast augmentation or reconstructive surgery. The most prevalent forms of breast implants are:  
Saline Implants   
These implants are made of a silicone shell filled with sterile saline (saltwater) solution. They are introduced empty and then filled to the desired size. In the event of a rupture, the saline is absorbed by the body without inflicting any harm.  
Silicone Gel Implants  
These implants similarly have a silicone shell; however, they are filled with a cohesive silicone gel. When compared to saline implants, silicone gel implants feel more natural.  
If the gel ruptures, it may stay within the implant shell or move to the surrounding breast tissue.  
Structured Saline Implants   
These implants contain an interior structure or a series of stacked shells that offer extra support. They are filled with saline solution and have a more natural feel than typical saline implants.  
Gummy Bear Implants  
These implants are also known as cohesive gel implants because they are filled with thick, more cohesive silicone gel. They retain their form even if the implant shell gets ruptured.   
Round Implants   
These implants have a symmetrical form and offer fullness in the breast's top and bottom areas. They can increase cleavage and give the breasts a rounder look.  
Textured vs. Smooth Implants  
Breast implants can have textured or smooth surfaces: 
Textured implants feature a rough outer shell, which helps to limit the risk of implant movement or rotation. 
Smooth implants feature a slick surface allowing smoother mobility within the breast pocket.  
Surgical Methods Involved in Breast Augmentation  
Inframammary Incision  
This method entails creating an incision in the fold behind the breast. It enables the surgeon immediate access to the breast tissue and allows him to insert the implant precisely.  
Peri-areolar Incision  
The incision in this procedure is done around the bottom portion of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple). The advantage of this method is that the incision scar can blend in with the natural transition between the areola and the breast skin.  
Trans-axillary Incision  
The incision is created in the natural crease of the armpit. The surgeon makes a tunnel to the breast region and inserts the implant. This procedure produces no scars on the breast but is more difficult for implant placement.  
Trans-umbilical Incision  
Also known as TUBA (trans-umbilical breast augmentation), this method involves creating an incision around the belly button. The surgeon next cuts a tunnel into the breast and inserts the implant.  
This procedure does not leave any scars on the breast; however, it is only appropriate for saline implants and may have restrictions regarding implant location and size.  
Dual-Plane-Technique  
This method includes inserting the breast implant partially below the pectoral muscle (sub-muscular) and partially behind the breast tissue (sub-glandular).  
The dual-plane approach produces more natural-looking outcomes, lowers the incidence of certain problems, and primarily benefits patients with minor sagging or ptosis.  
Winding Up  
Understanding breast augmentation is essential for women considering this life-changing treatment. With so many different types of implants and surgical procedures available, it's crucial to speak with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can direct you to the best option for your objectives and body type.  
When it comes to obtaining the greatest care, Quttainah Specialized Hospital is a name you can trust. Our devoted team of professionals and cutting-edge facilities guarantee that your breast implant experience is safe, pleasant, and gratifying.  
Begin your transformation at QSH, where your dream of getting the perfect curve may become a beautiful reality.

Top Surgery In-Person Consultation
So I'm very tired and drained from everything, but I had an in-person appointment to get consent for surgery and whatnot.
Was talked through risks and complications of the surgery, a few of which I already knew about from research and/or being warned about them in my video appointment a long while back. Was also shown some pre-op vs post-op pics, so I could have decent visual indication of what results could look like.
After that portion, I was checked over by one of the potential surgeons and had some health checks done. I'm basically right on the borderline of being suitable for peri-areolar - which is a fact I was already aware of, because of research I'd done before - and was given a chance to switch over to the more common double incision surgery. I stuck by my choice of peri, though. Plus, I consented to having my medical photos used for students and showing to patients in the clinic, so if nothing else they have an "edge-case" being added to their database.
Was obviously mildly uncomfortable with needing to be checked and all that, since it required me to be shirtless and binderless, but I can tolerate that stuff when it's for medical purposes.
Got a whole bunch of information sheets and copies of consent forms, and then left.
It'll be anywhere from 2 to 12 weeks (not months, weeks) before I get surgery, but they think it's likely I'll get surgery before Christmas.
So... yeah. Top surgery progress!
