Inverted nipple correction possible after breast life (areola) and implants? (photos)

Question

I am getting my breasts lifted with areoles repositioning and mentor gel implants. I have one partially inverted nipple and the other is flat. I am getting my nipples corrected after the surgery... Will moving my areola increase the chances of the inversion getting worse or the possibility of correcting them lesser? I'm 23 and have had struggles with failed pregnancies hence the droop. I just sent my old body back and new nipples. Can you see this happening? Any info would be appreciated :)

I agree with your plan to have the breast augmentation and lift done first. There is a chance that the nipple position and projection can be improved with the implants. If not then a procedure to release the ducts from the papilla of the nipple can be done. It would mean that breast feeding in the future would likely not be possible. Good luck with surgery.

Hi Celine,Good luck with your upcoming surgery!  I doubt that moving the nipple will increase nipple inversion, because the entire area of the breast will be moved, and covered over with the skin from the inside and outside of the breast.  So this should support the nipple area more!  Most of the time implants by themselves will correct inverted nipples.  You can always have an inverted nipple repair in the future if the problem persists, as you are planning.  All the best,  "Dr. Joe"

Hello and thanks for your question.You may benefit from a breast augmentation if you want to have more volume.Breast lift can help and re-shape your tissues.Sometimes the lift or the implant placement can correct the inversion.best wishes,Dr Sajjadian

Hi. There are techniques to correct inverted nipples. However, you need to realize that symmetry does not exist and that one will always be different than the other. IMHO you do not need a breast lift with the additional scars that come with a lift. I feel that a breast augmentation alone will enhance your breasts. I would certainly use smooth, high profile, silicone gel implants in a submuscular location placed through the areola. Nipple correction can be done at the same time. Good luck

Hi. Having breast implants will tend to push out the nipples, and you may find that the inversion is improved with the surgery - it definitely will not make the nipple inversion worse.Regards Dr Charles Cope
