Expected Outcome of Nipple/areola? (photo)

December 28, 2012
Asked By:Breezy130

fng breast reduction, post op day 18. i have had issues with right nipple since I had the dressings taken off at week 1. I was originally not supposed to see him again until 1 month but have gone in several times since bc of concerns. I'm just wondering if this is healing like it is supposed to, what the expected outcome is, etc. also, I have absolutely no nipple projection. He said it was du to swelling and I would get it back in a couple months, is this true? I want to trust but am discouraged
