Is it normal to have puffy areolas two months post op? (Photo)

Asked By:Nicole90 in Virginia Beach, VA

I had a breast lift with implants with a periareolar incision two months ago. My areolas go between being puffy and swollen looking to flat and normal. I also can not feel any sensation from my nipples. When should I expect to regain feeling in my nipples again? Is all of this normal?
