I'm 2 weeks and 1 day post op now. I have some questions.

It is normal that the outside of areola is hard and some soft? Also it is normal that my right areola is smaller than left areola? It will become same after a weeks?

Without knowing what your situation was before your surgery, and without knowing what was done during the operation, it's impossible to answer your questions. You might want to speak with your surgeon.

Sorry Dr. Silverman, I had gland excision because of mild case of gynecomastia. I will post a pictures if needed.

Pictures might be helpful to clarify your situation.  You would need to post pre- and post-op photos to demonstrate how things looked before the surgery.  Unless skin was removed, areolar size should be the same, and if one side looks larger, it may be because of hematoma or seroma, or because there's still excess tissue behind the larger side.  Again, these are things that your surgeon can better address with a physical exam.

Dr. Silverman these are my pictures and I think the left side is more swelling than right side that's why it has more protruding. I hope you can help me. Thank you!

The left side has a bit more bruising, so there may be a small hematoma.  You should see your surgeon, and if necessary, he will drain some blood, probably just using a needle, though it may not be possible until the clot has liquified a bit.  It may just be swelling, but a photo is not enough to provide that information.

Thank you very much Dr. Silverman! I met my surgeon few hours ago. Then he checked and touch the site of operated. He said it has small hematoma and it still swelling but it will absorb by the body. After that I will come after 1 month 1 week. Today is 2 weeks and 6 days. Tomorrow is my 3rd week! I hope the swelling is subside.
