Pain around areola 2 years after areola reduction. Is this normal?

Yaya71260
I had an areola reduction performed close to 2 years ago, after a breast lift/ fat grafting procedure that greatly enlarged my right areola. The areola that was operated on is still quite tight and hard. Recently (about a month or so), I've been feeling pain around the areola when laying on my side or belly, and even when touched. Is this normal? Any suggestions or thoughts? Please help!
