I got a breast reduction about 2 1/2 years ago and I am not happy with the way my nipples have healed. They are different sizes, shapes, and also seem to have different placement. The scarring has healed differently on each and I also have bumps with occasional pus (whiteheads similar to acne) that lead to raised skin on different parts of the areola. I don’t know if I can do anything to fix this, and I’m hesitant because I already have sensation loss in one of my nipples. Thank you in advance.
