Hi - had a breast reduction in August 2018. Result was good but now almost 8 months post op my nipple remains oval shaped and disproportionate to my other one. My PS said wait a year to see if it evens out , but it is obvious to me that it will not change from oval to round in the next 4 months... not expecting perfection by any means , but a similar shape to my other one would make it easier to look at everyday .

Answer: Can the tear drop/oval shape of my nipple be corrected ? (photo)
Many thanks for your query.
It is very scary when things do not go well and your surgical team is far away.
The wounds opened up because of tension of closure and weight of breasts affecting the blood supply to the area.
The NHS should help you heal the wounds - regular...
