I had implants put in in 2005. They were much, much larger than I wanted and I lost nipple sensation on my left side. On the right I have significant darting nerve pain when the nipple is tugged. In 2006, the surgeon who implanted my breasts agreed to put in smaller ones at no extra charge. That's fine, except that my nipples are embarrassingly crooked. So instead of feeling better about my breasts, I continue to be self-conscious about them. What is the cost to fix this, if it can be fixed??

The difference of 50 cc at that high of a volume will not make a great deal of difference and will be barely noticeable. The addition of 200 cc or 250 cc from your original size should increase you at least one cup size. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Hello, I have just a few additional thoughts. Your breasts naturally have slightly laterally placed nipples and you will always have some separation between your breasts , which is normal. To give you more middle fullness the implant would have to be placed more toward the middle of your breast...
