Are oval areolas normal after a breast lift? (photos)

December 4, 2015
Asked By:msauriol in Burlington, Ontario, Canada

I am now 11 weeks post breast lift. He reduced the size of my areolas as well, but they are now long ovals and I'm not happy. He told me that they are cut in perfect circles and that they will become circular over time, as they settle. This doesn't make sense to me, because as time goes by and they "settle", I'm assuming the will become even more oval?? Regards, Michelle
