I had a breast augmentation and breast lift in January 2021 and my nipples are oddly placed, particularly my left nipple. I’m unable to wear low cut shirts or any top that’s even the least bit revealing without my nipple popping out. It’s incredibly uncomfortable to always feel concern about exposing myself. What can I do to fix it?

Answer: What can I do about nipple placement after breast augmentation Thanks for your question. Without examining you it is difficult to be certain but based on the photos it appears as though you've had some wound healing issues leading to irregularity of the areolar borders and widened scars. Whether it's a result of the scars stretching or poor elastic fibres in the skin, it appears as though the implants have stretched the lower pole significantly and now a bra cup can't contain the lower half of the breast as well as the nipples, resulting in them showing as you describe. In order to correct this you'll need a full revision of the lift to correct the excess skin and most likely some galaflex mesh or alloderm to support the implants and prevent the lower pole from stretching out again. Although the solution is relatively straightforward, the actual procedure is not so make sure you see a breast revision expert in your area to get this fixed properly. Hope that helps!
