During an anchor incision breast lift does the nipple stay connected to its blood supply?

Asked By:MichaelaH1 in Melbourne, FL

During an anchor incision breast lift (with no reduction in breast tissue) does the nipple stay connected to its blood supply while the breast skin is stitched into its new shape around it? Or is the nipple generally removed entirely from the breast and reattached toward the end of the procedure? Thank you for your answers in advance.
