Areola expanding after surgery. PS says that even if revision was done they would probably expand again. Is this true?

May 2, 2019
Asked By:

I had a breast augmentation with areola reduction last year. In the beginning the areolas were very small, but they have now expanded quite a lot. The main problem is that one is bigger and a bit uneven. My surgeon will perform a revision to fix my pockets, but he said that even if he would redo my areolas, they would probably expand again. Is this true? I did move around quite a lot and started working out way too early after surgery and wonder if this could have affected the outcome?
