How common is it for areolas to stretch back after reduction surgery?

Sincere920766
I am thinking of having an areola reduction surgery but I am not sure about it. My areolas are 2 inches in diameter when my nipples are soft. They look ok when my nipples are hard and shrink 1/2 inch. It is very common that they return to their starting size? I don’t want to be left with scars and no long term improvement. My areolas stretched out after I used a noogleberry device so they were not naturally this big if it makes a difference in a likelihood that they will stretch back out?
