Can someone explain how much breast tissue is taken out when they do what is
called a "breast tuck"? Do they remove the nipple like they do in reduction
surgery? I am working with a young mom who had large implants removed, and
smaller ones put in. She said they had to do a breast tuck to take up the
slack when they put in the smaller implant. She has scars all the way around
her areola and then the vertical one from the nipple down to the chest wall
(under the breast). Looks exactly like reduction scars.
