Uneven areola after lift and reduction. Any suggestions? (photos)

February 2, 2016
Asked By:toby01 in Maryland, NY

breast reduction and lift about four months ago. I'm pleased with the shape and size, but I'm not happy with the size and shape difference of my areoles. They are about a half an inch different in length and width. The one one the right is also starting to develop raised reddish scarring. I have brought this to the attention of the surgeon and am not really happy with the response. Can someone please let me know how difficult this is to fix and the cost associated with it?
