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.
