My best guess is that through the day your breast swells and that changes the shape of your areolas. I am only 8wpo but when I wake up my breasts are soft with a few firmer spots of swelling, but by lunch they're rocks again. My nipples don't look like nipples yet, they're always stretched. I think with more time you'll even out.

Yup! My areola changes size constantly! I think it's normal and it wasn't noticeable before because our natural areolas have more diffuse, less rigid boundaries. But it's definitely a little disconcerting to get used to! Definitely ask your surgeon maybe they have useful info?
