I had a breast reduction 2 years ago. I have very little volume in the upper pole, my nipples are pointing upwards and my breasts are 'bottoming out' I also have aerola skin remaining on the lower part of my breast. My aim is to maintain a B cup breast size while Lowering my nipple position, increasing volume on upper pole through implant and possibly removing aerola pigmented skin if possible. Can you remove additional fat from breast and replace with implant? (I don't mind sensation loss)
