I love the full size of my areolas. Can that be preserved? Most of the breast lifts I see have small areolas. (photos)

The size of your aerola can probably be kept large if you want. Most patients prefer a much smaller aerola somewhere in the 35-45 mm in diameter. Goes to show all people have their own opinions. Good luck.

Thank you for your question and photo.  Yes, during a breast lift you can preserve the size of the areola.  Schedule a consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your concerns.
