Will my areolas ever match after one was reduced? What are my options? (Photo)

Asked By:StereoSushi

I had areola reduction surgery on my left breast to address asymmetry that really bothered me. It's been almost a year post-op and my left areola doesn't contract like the right. They don't match because the right one is usually a bit contracted. I was tested and did not lose sensation on the left. I am disappointed with the outcome right now as greater symmetry was my goal. I'm due to have the right one slightly enlarged with a fat transfer. Will that help? What would you recommend?
