A common question patients ask is whether the ni**le is removed and repositioned during a breast lift (mastopexy) or breast reduction. ⁠
⁠
In this video, Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Drew Cronin explains that the ni**le-areola complex remains attached to the underlying breast tissue and is carefully elevated into a new position, rather than removed and replaced.⁠
