4/15 I had 400CC silicone implants and cutting to release tissue to fix tubular breasts. Im just about 2 months out and my right breast hasn't dropped, still firm & the nipple is ponting down. This is the same breast that before pointed down and was the bigger issue. I dont expect them to be perfect but I am hoping they at least even out more. Will the nipple still droop after it drops? Im worried my rt breast wil not drop! I cant get apt with my surgeon for another month & i am freaking out!thx

Nipple points down after breast implants

Based on your photo we can only guess that your problem was asymmetry of the breast as the breast does not seem to have been truly tuberous with nipple herniation. One breast is smaller, the fold is tighter, though again the implant does not appear high. Your breast will settle in as well as it might by about six months and you may be pleased by then. If not revision could include a larger implant an fuller pocket on the smaller side, perhaps with a small lift to even the nipple. Asymmetry... more

Tubular post-op breasts

Each breast is always a bit different. Pre-op photos would have been helpful. It is hard to say what the final result will be. If the nipple was pointing down before surgery, it may need a lift now. I would probably give it some more time to soften. They can always be revised.

Tubular Breasts and Augmentation

Although a preop photo would be helpful, it does seem that your right breast implant may still be riding high. If your implant does drop, that could provide you with more symmetry. Waiting another month (which is when you can see your PS anyway) will help determine if you need further revision. Chances are at 2 months if your implant hasn't descended, it won't travel much further on its own in the next month. Keep in mind that working with tubular breasts is very challenging,... more

Before surgery picture would be helpful

You have uneven breasts and implant size or shape change can not fix it. You may need Multiple revisions to even out your breast and it is going to be very hard to make your breast symmeterical.

Breast Implants - Tubular - Right Has Not Descended At Two Months?

Hi me in ny in ny, Well, it would (in general, and specifically here) be helpful to have pre-operative photos in trying to assess your healing. It looks like one breast is slightly larger than the other (your left looks larger than your right). If it was larger before and the same size implants were placed, then that could help explain both that and the fact that the right is still higher - presumably you had tight skin that had to be released (along with deeper tissues) in... more
