I had a breast augmentation 4 wks ago, I had 330cc under the muscle. Things are still settling as they remain a little high & swollen but I understand this will take time. However my nipples seem much bigger since my op. They are even bigger then when I was pregnant & breast feeding. I am experiencing a lot of tingling & burning in my nipples is this something to do with it? Do you think they wi go down? Thank you

Answer: Nipple Areola Size Increase after Breast Augmentation
Will your areola enlarge with breast implants? The best analogy to help answer your question is as follows: draw a circle on a balloon and then blow the balloon up. The circle will always enlarge. So the answer is, yes.
The larger the implant: the more your areolar will increase...
4 weeks is too early to determine your final results. I believe you can still encourage movement of the implants with massage so you should confirm with your surgeon that he/she is comfortable with that.
