Can I get a breast lift with areola reduction if I have visible veins on my areola? (Photo)

August 25, 2017
Asked By:katie_7890 in New York, NY

There is a very visible vein crossing through my breast that you can see through the skin of the areola. I don't know if this question may seem stupid but I just want to make sure that this still allows me to be a candidate for a breast lift and areola reduction because I am in the process of losing a large amount of weight and my breasts are already sagging. I picture a scalpel cutting through the skin directly into the vein which could just be paranoia but it also doesn't seem safe
