Will Uneven Areolas After Breast Reduction Eventually Even Out?

July 23, 2011
Asked By:rebeccamm

My left areola is significantly smaller than the right and is quite uneven (the distance from my nipple to the top is smaller than from the nipple to the bottom). The top of that areola is also puckered and sticks out a bit. The right is perfectly even. I am almost 3 weeks post op. Will this even out eventually or is it too early to tell?
