Shape of areolas changed after breast lift/augmentation. Will they return to normal?

May 21, 2015
Asked By:Baby58 in Calgary, AB

After my breast lift/augmentation my areolas are huge! They are flat and much lighter in colour as well. I hate them. They were adorable and responsive prior to surgery and were a nice mid brown colour and had texture. Now they look like giant pink pancakes. They are no longer cute and are unresponsive to cold, touch etc. 3 weeks post op. Will they ever be nipples and areolas I can love again or will I forever be self-conscious and have to keep them in hiding? I feel less feminine now :(
