Swollen nipples/areolas after breast augmentation?

Asked By:JessicaSentorinxo in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I got a breast augmentation 17 days ago - 365cc cohesive gel, Transaxillary incision, under the muscle. I know it is early to judge & it is normal for your nipples/areolas to be puffy and swollen after the procedure, however, when will they not be puffy anymore? They seem to be bigger as well. Will they go down in size or are they permanently larger since the implant stretched my skin? Photo attached. As an aside, how long until the skin does not look shiny anymore due to it stretching?
