How long does it take for the "puffy" look to permanently go away resulting in a flat areola after implants + areola reduction?

January 4, 2014

Hello, Ive had breast implants with areola reduction in May 2013. I want to know until how long will my areolas stay puffy? My doctor told me about 4 months but its been almost 6 months. Sometimes the puffiness goes down and the areola is flat but most times i see the swelling in the areola. Will i need a revision? ALso, any advice on scarring? The scarring is not attractive but i hear it will take about a year or so for the scar to heal and fade. Please offer any advice and thanks in advance!
