Uneven Nipples and Breasts After Breast Lift Surgery

It is normal to have some assymetry after breast surgery depending on the point in time of recovery and the severity and complexity of the case. If you feel you have issues and concerns, I recommend consulting your plastic surgeon as soon as possible or a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss any options necessary for you. Aggressive massage and manipulation of the breasts will help them settle into the pocket and will also prevent encapsulation (scar tissue). Final results of breast lift and augmentation surgery can usually be seen around 6-8 months. They may not be perfect but should be fairly close in symmetrical in shape and size. Take care!

The ultimate position of the breast, nipple, and areola depends on surgical factors and may require 6 to 8 weeks before the swelling subsides in order to see the final position.  I would wait this period and determine whether this meets your expectations for nipple repositioning. 

 

Revision of the areolar and nipple positions can be performed relatively simply.

 There is always some differences in breast shape or size after a breast lift or reduction.
Most breasts aren't 100% symmetric. If your asymmetry is severe. You should wait at least three months. If the results are not acceptable then a revision might be indicated
