Will my Areola Go Back to Being Round? (photo)

June 3, 2013
Asked By:lacalima1

I had breast augmentation 3 weeks ago. My steri strips just came off and I noticed one of my areolas isn't round anymore. My incision was through the bottom of my areolas and I think the problem here could've been that my PS cut too close into the areola on my left breast. I was thinking: "May be it's too early to worry about this." But I don't see how my areola could go back to round, where's the areola tissue going to come from to make it round again? It just doesn't make sense to me
