I'm over a decade post op from breast reduction. My areolas are too high/uneven and I want them lowered/as symmetrical as possible. I'm having a difficult time identifying the right/correct/best type of board certified plastic surgeon to review my case. Who does this in NYC?

Answer: Lowering areola?
It is difficult to tell if your areola are too high or your breasts are too saggy. Sometimes it is the later and a revision of your lift/reduction can be performed. To actually lower the areola can be done, but a scar will be present above the 12 o'clock position on the areola( the top). Good luck.

Answer: This can be fixed.
You really need to be seen in person -- but by those photos, it actually looks as if the nipples are OK -- but the breast has bottomed out. It is simple to shorten the vertical component of your reduction and raise the breast tissue so it is behind your nipples. This should not be a difficult fix. Who fixes it? - someone like me -- and experience board certified plastic surgeon.
