How long does it take for areola to take its final shape, size and condition after reduction. I am 7 months post op. Will I notice any further change.? Thank you doctors.

Dear realself270681,
your results should be final 7 months after surgery. If you have concerns it is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

At seven months post op you are pretty much healed.  Any further changes will be with regards to the scar further maturing.  Be sure to visit with your surgeon if you have any concerns.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

You have a really nice result. I would expect the redness in the scar to improve with time. The areolae is probably at its final size

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

At 7 months, you are fairly well healed and should not expect any changes except from aging, hormonal or weight changes.
