10 days post-op, should I be concerned if my areolas are not perfect circles?

It's hard to fully comprehend how your areolae look without a photograph, but perfect circles are not possible to achieve surgically or by nature. With this surgery, in fact, the areola can look wildly distorted and then with time become very round and aesthetic.

It is difficult to tell without any pictures of before and after to compare, but at 10 days post op it is still to early to see final results, give them time to settle and continue to consult with your PS to discuss your concerns.

Hello, thank you for your recent question.  It is hard to answer this question as there is no photos to see what is going on.  However, you are still in the early healing stage and as your breast settle and the tissues relax your areola will begin to take shape and look better.  Best of luck ! 

Hello and thank you for the question. It would be useful to see some pictures. Having said that, it's too early to judge your results. As the healing continues, with the skin stretching and decrease in swelling, the areola shape will likely change. It's best that you discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Dear shobo,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast lift surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 10 days  post op.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

10 days is simply too premature to make any judgement about your surgery.  Swelling and inflammation will resolve over months and the scars will also mature.  Express your concern to your surgeon and follow their post op instructions to make certain that you optimize your outcome.  As my colleagues have pointed out, if necessary a revision could be considered in the future.  Hopefully, it will not be necessary!

Slight asymmetries are to be expected after surgery. It is not possible to achieve perfect symmetry with the human body.  These differences are most noticeable within the first few weeks of surgery and should settle and be much less noticeable with time.  

It is not uncommon for the areola to be imperfectly round right after a breast lift.  The skin may be gathered by underlying sutures and swelling may affect the shape, as well.  Over time you may see them become more circular.  If you have a persistent issue then minor revisions can be done to improve the shape once you are fully healed.

Hi and thanks for your question. Sometimes the skin does stretch and change as the swelling comes down. Over time this can change the shape of the areola. I recommend speaking with your surgeon regarding your concern. If you are unhappy with your areola shape, a areola revision can be performed after about 6 months. Hope this helps. 

Hello dear!!
Thanks for your question and provided information.
You are still early on healing process. Right now you might have one breast bigger than the other, feel swollen and also have bruises, it is normal and can happen for the first 3 to 4 months. Be patient, it is too soon to determine your final result.
If the situation doesn't improve over time, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)
