When having a liposuction-only breast reduction, does the nipple/areola complex reduce in size itself? If it does not, how is it fixed?
Unlike standard breast reduction, liposuction of the breast does not alter the breasts’ overall shape. Rather, it tends to reduce the weight and size of the breast. Likewise, although the areola may decrease in diameter proportionately with the decrease in breast size, it is not reduced or repositioned as it is in standard breast reduction. Only techniques that involve skin removal can dramatically change areolar size.
