Breast reduction and lift - would areolas need to be moved? Would I lose sensitivity? (Photos)

The breast reduction, including a lift, would be performed using an anchor pattern scar. That involves removing excess skin and breast tissue through incisions that are closed in a final pattern that resembles an anchor or inverted T. The nipples and areolae are elevated to a more lifted ideal position. The areolae are not removed. They stay attached to you and are shifted superiorly. It is possible that nipple sensation decreases partially or completely. On some occasions the nipple sensation can increase, but that's unusual. I go over all of these details during the consultation. We also perform this procedure without the need for general anesthesia. It's performed in the office under local anesthesia. Yes! A full breast reduction is performed with complete numbing and relaxation using injection of local anesthesia and oral medications. Check out the youtube video

From the photos you appear to be a good candidate for a breast reduction. During this procedure excess breast tissue and skin are removed and the nipple position is raised. Asymmetry is also addressed. The result are lifted, smaller breasts that are more harmonious with your frame. There are risks and benefits to every procedure. There is a risk for changes in sensation, however most patients resume sensation within the first year. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
