If I like the look of my breasts when they are cold, will an areola reduction create the desired result?

Question

My breasts are slightly stretched from weight gain and then weight loss, particularly in the aerola region. When they are cold though, the aerola shrinks and I really like the size and shape at that point. I know a traditional breast lift would lead to a more drastic results but I dont want that big of a change and I would also like to avoid any vertical scar if possible. I know an aerola reduction would be slightly different result than when they are cold but would it be a similar?

Reducing the areola can give a very natural result.  It is best if you begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.  After an exam and discussion of your goals the appropriate recommendation can be made for you.  You may be a candidate for a periareolar lift which would have the same incision pattern as an areolar reduction with the added bonus of a mini lift.
