5 wks post op breast reduction and my areoles and nipples are still different heights and shape. My breast are also still didn't sizes. Is it likely they will even out or am I stuck with them like this. I'm so disappointed with them so far and starting to regret the surgery. I wanted breast that were even ( as much as possible) and so I would feel confident wearing clothes without a bra. Which I wouldn't be as they are now. I've put a before photo and after. Thank you in advance
