I had breast augmentation in December and had a lift on my left breast (which sagged significantly more than the other) done at the same time. My right breast implant was done through peri-areola incision and I love it. My left breast is still unsatisfactory to me. I have a double bubble that appears which I was not expecting and the areola is now significantly larger than the other. The implant also appears to have dropped a little lower than the other. Is there any hope in having my areolas more symmetrical if I have revision on that breast?

Areola symmetry

Your areola can be made smaller ot match the other one when you have a revision. Remember, there will be a scar around the areola.
