Uneven nipples after breast augmentation and lift

It is difficult to for patients to judge their results following an augmentation mastopexy at two weeks postop. Some irregularity around the nipple is not uncommon early as we take up the extra skin in this area. Time will likely help this. Different physicians use a variety of methods to expediate scar... more

Hello All areolas are swollen early on and it will take a couple of months for all the swelling to disappear.  Please remember that areolas are not perfectly circular in any woman. They have a slightly irregular shape with pigment fading out from them. From the photo, it looks like the breasts have a... more

You are obviously recently post op.  Overall the size, shape and symmetry of the breasts looks very nice.  I agree that the left nipple is lower than the right, but I feel that the shape of the areolas looks nice.  This is a very difficult operation to get a nice result, and you have a very... more

As a surgeon, my advice is that I believe you have an excellent result. Tissues are elastic and the shape cannot be absolutely predicted despite the best of surgeon's efforts. IF you were made of clay, we could guarantee you a perfectly even result. We would use a mold and your results would never change.... more

 Your lift looks fine for one week post surgery.  Symmetry is the curse of plastic surgery.  If you only had one breast then there would be nothing to compare it to.  Prior to a breast lift careful measurements are made in an attempt to achieve symmetry and a nice result.  The fact is... more

Dear Ajonesca, So far so good!  Recovery from any surgery is always different in appearance in the first few weeks after surgery.  Your surgeon will know best how things are coming along- as planned or not. From you photo things look like they are progressing well.  The details you are pointing... more

Judging from this photo this is an excellent result from your breast lift.  The nipples are usually never naturally perfectly even preoperatively.  Neither are two breasts on the same patient perfectly the same.  We all have natural asymmetries in all parts of our body.   Areolae are never... more

Two weeks is very early to be too concerned about the breast appearance.  In addition you do have to take into consideration where you were before the surgery.  Meaning what kind of asymmetry did you have.  There's still swelling now and once that's gone you can have a better/objective look at... more

Hello, I do not know what your discussion with your surgeon before your procedure was like, but you look about as good as we usually can get. You are very close to exactly even. Small differences are quite common as is some degree fo recurrent sag of the breasts. You should be quite happy.

 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... more
