Reconstructive areola surgery after necrosis? (Photo)

breastreductionsurgery
Is it possible to safely, without much risking necrosis too much, remove the nipple from the other right breast, then reduce and sew the areola in such a way that it is somewhat symmetric with the left areola that has had nipple necrosis? Since there is not a lot of areola on the left breast and I don’t want tattoo, I don’t think nipple reconstruction would look nice? I’d be content with just two symmetric areola’s, there doesn’t necessarily need to be a nipple and I don’t want only one nipple..
