Would a second nipple correction surgery fix my flat/inverted nipples further? (Photo)

TmvxSep 10, 2020
3 weeks ago I underwent Inverted Nipple Correction Surgery for grade 3 inverted nipples. All milk ducts were cut (supposedly), however now it appears my nipples are just grade 1 inversion or even flat nipples. If I was to undergo a second revision surgery, does it look like my nipples could be further projected? As I am not fully satisfied with the current results. It seems my aerola was cut and stitched up instead of my actual nipple itself? All opinions welcome thank you.
