Do i have to get a nipple graft with breast reduction if breast are 40cm?

Not necessarily: There are many variables that are considered when determining whether or not a patient would benefit from free nipple grafting during breast reduction surgery. Only one of these measurements is the nipple to sternal notch distance. Best to seek consultation with several board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients in your situation. Best wishes.
