I just wondered why areola’s can look very oval, not round, differently shaped after breast reduction? Out of curiosity: shouldn’t it be very easy to cut a round shape during surgery using a mold or something? Also can this oval shape change compared to one week post surgery and ten months post surgery? If so, why it that the shape can change from oval to round with time?
Answer: Shapes I am sure your surgeon cut round shapes, but breast weight can pull the round areolae into ovals. The ovals will not go back to round shapes. However, this can be fixed. Please go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns.

Answer: Different skin types and tension Hi there, Yes we actually do use "molds" to cut the areola during surgery. And after surgery it is usually very round, however everyone skin type holds tension differently. Over time the shape can change as the skin stretches and we age. Also, we know things tend to stretch over time so some MDs will purposely cut the areola smaller and more oval or flat on the bottom knowing that over time it will stretch to round. All the best
