Nice augmentation/ mastopexy result

York Jay Yates, MD answers: Uneven nipples after breast augmentation and lift

I recently had breast lift and implants (200 cc, 1 cup size bigger, age 26 no kids) 2 weeks ago, and my nipples look like something out of a child's coloring book. They're completely uneven, choppy, and not at all near perfectly circular. Will these eventually fix themselves? I also thought the breasts would be higher. Does this look like a well executed lift?

 If the nipples do not "round out" a small revision may be in order.  Otherwise this looks like a very nice and natural result.  The degree of lift is largely defined by the patients anatomy.  The inframammary fold is a an anatomic landmark the usually defines the bottom of the breast.  It does not look like any further degree of lifting would have been possible without an ill-placed implant or "star gazing" nipples.  Both complications we as plastic surgeons try desperately to avoid.
