What's a normal size to cut an areola down to during a mastopexy? I had lift and aug done and doc cut areola to 38mm.

I was a full d before surgery. Areola was over 50 mm when erect as in the photo. I asked doc Not to cut them down. He said he needed to cut away some to even them out. 38mm is a big diff from 50 when they're erect. They're even bigger not erect. I hate small snipples. Is 38mm the standard size docs cut them down to? He said he normally cuts to a 36mm. That he gave me 2mm cause he knows I did not want them small. My boobs are a d to dd right now. One is bigger than other. 3 wks post op
