Had Puffy areola/cone shaped appearance in both sides of my chest. Lumps were painfull. Had lipo and exczicion.nearly 3 months post op now and my areolas are back to how they were, AND the lumps hurt even more now!!! saw my doctor and told him this but he was against taking out more of the gland out of fear of a crater deformity.
