Will an areola reduction give me a lift as well? (Photo)

You
do need a breast lift along with augmentation. I suggest you stay away from the
donut, or circumareolar lift. The donut lift should really be called
the 'Do Not' lift - it provides little lift, usually results in enlarged
areolas and often produces ugly scars. The donut lift should be done as rarely
as possible. I nearly always do a vertical, or lollipop breast lift. The anchor
lift should only be done in very droopy breasts; in my very busy breast
practice I do only a couple of anchor lifts a year. I recommend smooth, round,
cohesive silicone gel implants under the muscle. It is important to keep in
mind that the larger the implant, the faster your lift will come down. You need
to be sensible in choosing your implant size. The combined lift and
augmentation is a challenging operation. I advise you to see a very experienced
plastic surgeon with expertise in aesthetic breast procedures. All the best.

From your photos it does not appear that a donut lift will be adequate for you. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation. Here you will discuss your concerns and learn more about options. I've included a video on lifts that I hope you find helpful.

Hello, thank you for your question and photos. An areola reduction is often a component of a breast lift (mastopexy), If you ae happy with your breast size implants are not necessary. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
