I am 3.5 months post-breast lift. As I heal, I notice they are not symmetrical. My PS has me scheduled to have the left lifted more to even the nipples, but do they both look too high?

Answer: Too high? Looks like it to me. I would agree with the others that based on your photos the nipple position looks to high. Typically we try to have the nipples centered over the breast mound, so that they are positioned on the front of the breast where it projects the most. It appears that yours are sitting above that point. My concern in cases like this (3.5 months post op) is that this may get worse over time as the skin and tissues on the bottom half of the breast stretch due to time and gravity. If you are already scheduled for a revision you might discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and talk about strategies to improve your appearance.

Answer: Nipple Position Yes, it appears as though your nipple position is too high. I would discuss a lowering procedure with your plastic surgeon - this can be done through an incision in the crease of the breast, and typically heals up well. Unfortunately, this can happen as the breasts heal - the tissue stretches and nipple rotates up. Best of luck.
