Why is one areola bigger than the other? (Photo)

June 26, 2015
Asked By:goodman90 in Stuart, FL

24 days post op and just had my tape removed today and a few stitches. I am starting on scar cream/sheets. The assistant said everything looked great. That the areola would even out over time. The smaller areola looks very puckered and not smooth while the other side it even and has smooth suture lines. Is this normal for them to look this far off from each other. The areola just seem like one is a penny and the other is a quarter.
