Potential Risks of Periareolar Top Surgery

Periareolar top surgery has a favourable risk profile when performed on appropriate candidates. All risks are discussed in full at consultation.

Some experience temporary numbness in the first weeks that improves as nerve recovery progresses. A small minority experience permanent reduction in sensitivity.

Reduced sensation across the chest skin is common in the first three to six months. Most patients regain partial chest within 12 months.

The incision is placed at the natural colour transition at the outer margin of the areola, where it is well concealed once healed. Initial scarring may appear pink and slightly raised; it progressively flattens and fades over 12 to 18 months.

This risk is reduced by patient selection — periareolar is restricted to smaller chests (typically B cup or smaller) with good skin elasticity.
