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

Thank you for your questions and photographs, and I am sorry that your nipple and areola results have not been what you anticipated.  There are some changes that can occur to the areola during the healing process, largely due to gravity and wound tension.  Should your results persist for 6 months, a small touch up can be performed in the office to improve the oval appearance.  

Your best bet would be to wait out the post op healing term a few months longer and reevaluate the situation. If you still feel that your nipples are too ovular in shape then you should definitely see your surgeon in person too see what can be done.

Every body heals differently and at a different rate. It is important to allow yourself the time to heal completely before evaluating the result of your breast lift surgery.  As difficult as it is, be patient with yourself.   Most surgeons wait until you are six months post-op to evaluate the outcome of surgery.  If at that point you are unhappy with the result your surgeon can discuss options for touch-up or revision surgery, if needed.
