Areola still dome shaped 5+ weeks post op

March 13, 2016
Asked By:lovejuice2007 in United Kingdom, GB

I had gyno surgery approx 6 weeks ago lipo and gland removal. I had "domed" shaped areloas before surgery and I still seem to have them now. Will my areola become a normal sized and round shaped (my biggest concern)? Will the indent in my right chest eventually go ? I had my surgery abroad in Europe. I have been massaging everyday and had no complications any advice welcome thanks
