What is the Average Space Between the Nipple and the Crease?

From the appearance of your photos, you have a fairly short distance from the infra-mammary fold to the nipple. I would characterize your breast as midly constricted. This dimension limits the diameter and volume of implant that would look good in you. Without an exam, we cannot make definitive recommendations. My advice would be to avoid large and wide implants.

The distance from the areola to inframmamary crease increases as the breast size increases. Often is is possible to increase the distance from the areola to the “new crease” at the time of breast augmentation surgery.

On this site, I do my best to give advice without a physical examination but I want you to know that a physical examination by a board certified physician is always the best way to get the most accurate information.

Hello and thank you for the question ~

From examination of your photographs, it appears as if you have a short nipple to fold distance.  This distance will vary from person to person. A shorter distance will dictate, to an extent, the dimensions of an implant that may be utilized in a breast augmentation which will allow for an aesthetically pleasing and balanced result.  Keep in mind that over time, the nipple to fold distance will increase following a breast augmentation. This may take months to fully develop and it does have an upper limit.  These factors, thus, need to be discussed with the patient during the consultation so that they understand how the breast will appear early on after the surgery, and how, with time, the breast appearance will improve.I would recommend discussing these concerns with your plastic surgeon.
