Areola dark 2 months post-op gyno surgery. Will this lighten up by itself? (photo)

Polygrip
Hello, Half of my left nipple has been darker than my right nipple which is healing very good in comparision. Is this something I need to worry about or will my nipple lighten up by itself. The darker areola tissue has the same texture as the rest of this nipple.
