Asked By:chloertbg in San Francisco, CA

I am 4 weeks post op. I got 350cc implants with a periareolar lift. My right areola is much larger than the left and I am very very upset. Is this permanent? I know healing takes 6 months but it seems strange that my right areola would "shrink". I had all my stiches removed 8 days after surgery. What can I do?
