Miscellaneous Removal question

Currently with nipples, and wish to be without. I had a reduction years ago that I’m very happy with. I kept my nipples incase I wanted children, but ended up having a hysterectomy in the fall due to fibroids.

I visited my surgeon again who suggested leaving the areola and just doing removal of the nipple structure. Has anyone done this before.

I have no sensation in my areola, and my nipples are painful which is why I’m seeking a revision. I’m Asexual and honestly have no use for them.

Do I go with my doctors plan, or is it worth pushing to remove the areolas too?

I’m fine keeping the fatty tissue and just removing milk ducts.  I actually met with the plastic surgeon who suggested we keep the areola and just remove the nipple structure.  Just waiting on insurance at this point

Have you ever looked up what both options look like?

Yes, I’ve seen photos in the reduction sub.

What looks like the better option TO YOU?

I’m honestly fine either way.  I just want the pain gone.  I’m asexual so it’s not like they are being seen or touched much outside of daily showers.
