Following two WLE ops I now have a scar which you can't see because it is so tight around the areola of my nipple it has folded in, and to keep it clean I have to try and get my finger in the crevice to clean it out. I want to ask the BCN if anything can be done to pull out the area, but part of me thinks I should just be grateful for what they have achieved for me and find a way to clean out the area. Anyone had this experience please?
