Areolas too small. What can be done now? Do you recommend tattooing? (Photo)

November 12, 2014
Asked By:newimproved1982 in Mexico, MX

I am 32 years old. I had reduction and lift breast surgery 24 days ago. The size of the breasts is OK, but the areolas... While my surgeon was doing the markings on my breast, I told her that I wanted areolas 3.5cm in diameter, I had 7 cm to start with. And now that I've measured them, they are only 2cm in diameter. I've been crying about it. They look so weird. What can be done now? Do you recommend tattoing? if so, How much time should I wait for it? Thank you
