Swelling in areolas after breast lift/augmentation with areola reduction.

January 14, 2014
Asked By:SPatricia

I had a breast lift and augmentation with areola reduction 5 weeks ago. 1 week ago my areolas became very swollen and are still this way. They look like cones on the end of my breast. Why did this happen and will they flatten out?
