I had a breast reduction on September 28th, 2016. I'm very pleased with the results. I feel so much better. I'm 53 and went from a 38EEE to a 38C. However, I would rather have scars going above my nipples as well as the underneath and side scars if it meant my nipples didn't have to be relocated. Is there a procedure like that available? My daughter is in need of the same surgery and she's in agreement with me. Thank you for your time, Joy
