Can an areola reduction tighten breast skin?

kj132
I had a breast explant two weeks ago, have larger areolas (about 6cm stretched) and some loose skin. My areola fall right at the breast line unless constricted then they're about 1 cm above the crease. I don't think I even have enough breast tissue for a full lift, I'm wondering if an areola reduction alone will lift the nipple and tighten the skin?
