Areola Diameter reduction - will it continue to shrink as I heal?

ritzta
Hello. I am 8 days post-op from my gynecomastia surgery, which was direct excision and VASER liposuction. I know it is very early to start gauging results, and that full results will be realized around the 6 month mark. A major reason why I had this surgery was to reduce the diameter of my areola. Should I expect to see additional reduction of the diameter as I heal further, or has all of the shrinkage occurred and I should not expect additional diameter reduction over the next few months?
