In Case a Woman Has Breasts Which Are Only Asymmetrical but Same Areola Size and Nipple Height, What Do You Recommend?

Hello, Six months ago , a plastic surgeon reduced the size of my left breast using liposuction alone. I was naive and thought he knows what he's doing. But now I think what I really needed is breast reduction surgery as my left breast is still slightly bigger and hang lower. However, the areola is of the same size and nipples heights are identical. Just wanted to know whether there is a need to cut around the areola if I do a breast reduction surgery. I'm not concerned with scars as I heal well
