Following implant removal the breasts will contract for several months. Once the breasts stabilize then you can consider areola reduction.
Once you are fully healed from your implant removal surgery you can consider having the areola downsized in order to improve symmetry. Speak with your surgeon who will give you an approximate time frame based on how you are healing.
Thank you for the question. You should allow the surgery you just had to completely heal before undergoing any revisions. It is certainly possible to achieve more symmetry from future procedures. Good luck with everything.
You mention you "had my areola smaller." Did you have a donut mastopexy at the same time as you had your breast implants removed? You should discuss your concerns about your asymmetry with your plastic surgeon. A donut mastopexy on the larger areola can decrease the diameter, though the two sides will always have some degree of asymmetry.The timing of further surgery will be influenced by whether you just had your implants removed through the areola or if you had a donut mastopexy. Your plastic surgeon will let you know how long to wait.

Yes but allow at least 3 months healing phase before reoperating on that areola. This allows swelling to decrease to judge the true differences...
Yes you can have an areolar reduction for symmetry. Please see your plastic surgeon for options as you recently had surgery and he/she may want you to recover completely from your initial surgery before going to the next.
Based on the submitted photos you appear to be a good candidate for a breast lift. This would remove excess tissue, improve asymmetry, raise the position of the nipple and downsize the areola. I encourage you to begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. I've included...
An areola reduction involves an incision that goes around the areola. Because it sits immediately next to the areola skin it can blend very well and be unobtrusive. Changes in your breasts such as significant weight gain or loss or pregnancy can impact the results from surgery. The best place...
You can reduce areola size and release constriction without getting implants but you would need to be evaluated to determine if this is recommended. For those with tubular breasts the implant is used to help reshape the breast once the constriction is released. In addition, a lift is often...
