My Nipples Are Raised to High After Breast Lift, It's Been 5 Days Will This Change?
I had a breast lift about 5 days ago with a lollipop incision with no implants. Yesterday Dec 22, 12 I got my bandages removed and notice that my nipples are placed really high, my surgeon said something abt but I don't remember, I will ask him on my next appointment . But for now I feel really bad about the lift. Will it stay like this or will the shape change, they look like long rectangles and my nipples are to high

Nipples too high after breast lift
In general, 5 days is almost always too soon to determine what the final results of a breast surgery might be. With that being said, nipple position with a breast lift almost always gets higher with time and not lower. You would be best to address this with your surgeon and specifically ask about your concerns.

Concerns about Position of Nipple/Areola after Breast Lifting?
As you can imagine, without direct examination it is not possible to give you precise advice. However, it is safe to say that, after 5 days, you are not seeing the final results of the procedure performed. I think that you will find that the breasts will change in size/shape over the course of the next several months. Hopefully, these changes will result in an improved nipple/areola position on the breast mounds.
In the meantime, I would suggest continued patience and continued...

Nipples Are Raised too High After Breast Lift
This question is not possible to answer without the opportunity to look at photos, current and pre-op.
Five days is early to evaluate the shape. If the nipple position really is high, it is not likely that that will change, but often it only appears high due to the shape changes early on, and this may change.
Patience.
Review all your issues with your surgeon.
Best wishes.

High nipple position with "lollipop" lift
Dk11: Take a deep breath, write down your concerns and address them with your PS. The "lollipop lift" scar pattern is usually associated with a vertical mastopexy (lift), which was a technique popularized in the mid 90's. It was theorized that the lower pole skin would shrink thereby avoiding the horizontal scar at the base of the breast. Some PS have had great results with the "LeJour" technique but most of my patients prefer to have a good shape, over limiting the length...

Breast Lift
Without a picture of before and also after, it is impossible for us to comment on your results. However, over time, the beasts do settle after a lift, so I think it is a little too early for you to get worried. However, the best person to answer this is your surgeon. I would suggest that you write down all of your questions and then write down the answers they give you so that you don't have an issue of not remembering what the doctor tells you.
Good Luck.

Nipple placement
Sorry without a picture it is impossible to answer your question, however the nipple areolar complex can appear high and then descend to a normal position with time on certain vertical breast lift procedures. Good luck.

Nipple position after breast lift
Hi. It is too early to predict the final outcome after only five days. The position will change (particularly with a 'lollipop' style incision) in the coming months. If you are still unhappy with the position after 3-4 months, please post some photographs.

Areolae Too High After Breast Lift
I am sorry to say that I cannot answer this without pictures. Your breasts will definitely change as the swelling goes down. If the areolae are too high and the lower poles are long, the breast lift can be revised so that the lower poles are shortened to pull the areolae down.
