Can the patient have any input into the size and placement of her nipple/areola complex?
Yes. The sizing and placement of the nipple and areola complex is based on multiple surgical measurements of the breast as well as on established aesthetic ideals. From prior experience, these measurements tend to give the best overall results. These ideals can be adjusted to a certain degree if a patient feels strongly about areolar size or positioning.
