During a breast augmentation, do all doctors remove the nipple/areola and reattach it? (Photo)

Asked By:tmgonza5 in Spring, TX

I've always had small breasts and will be getting a breast augmentation in the next couple of months. I understand that some doctors will remove the nipple and reattach it. I like the size and shape of my nipple. But I've seen some "after" pictures and the areola looks stretched on some patients. Thoughts?
