I am a male who recently had a nipple reduction with liposuction. The doctor did not provide any compression and 5 weeks later, I still have swollen areolas and I look worse than before the surgery. What can I do?
This is really bothering me. I started using a compression vest 4 days after the surgery. Should I continue to wear the vest or is it pointless at this point? I am concerned the streched areolas won't return to their original shape.
Always talk to the surgeon who performed the procedure and has benefit of exam.
Next, you may want to ask him about getting roller from a bedroom and bathroom store-a massager. Sometimes the vigorous deep massage will really help mobilize and soften the residual swelling. It is not uncommon for a lot of swelling to still be present at 5 weeks however!
Regarding size of the areola, I can't speculate.
best to you .
