Q: Breast lift or just nipple reduction?

A:

I agree with Dr. Rand that you have asymmetry and that your areolar size is different.  If I were to see you, I would probably recommend a modest implant with upper pole projection and a circumareolar size reduction.  A reduction of the areolas alone will flatten your central breast and not give it a nice shape.  A complete lift, may add more scars than you want and leave you with the same upper pole emptiness after a year.
