If the Areola is Cut Open, Would It Heal Back to How It Was Before or with "Normal" Skin?

Asked By:Decelec

Theoretically. I know you can, for example, reduce the size of the areola with surgery, but then you pull the other skin over the wound and it heals that way. If you left the wound open without pulling it together like this, would it heal back as areola-skin or normal-skin? I'm sorry I don't have pictures, but it is a theoretical question...
