Uneven areola & areola too big after reduction, is there anything I can do? (Photos)

December 9, 2023
Asked By:rhuttonnnn in Girilambone, New South Wales, Australia

I had a reduction 1 year ago and I am very happy with the size, shape, nipple placement and scar healing. However, I am unhappy with one of my areolas (my right) as it is 5cm and my left is 4cm. It comes up higher and goes out further and it pokes out when wearing bikinis and some tops. We did not discuss Areola size before surgery as I barely had one before (pale), and I feel if they were smaller overall (350mm) I wouldn’t be as annoyed. I feel so ugly. Is there anything I can do? Are they ugly
