Does doing a nipple reduction at the same time as a breast augmentation increase the risk of capsular contracture? (photos)

Asked By:Sicily1987 in Bellevue, Washington

I am 36, healthy bmi, with a very small upper body and aa breasts.I had a consult with a surgeon who said that he didn't suggest doing a nipple reduction and breast implants at the same time, due to nipple bacteria that increases the risk of capsular contracture. I don't doubt his expertise, but was hoping to see other doctor's thoughts on this. I have long droopy nipples from breastfeeding and very little breast tissue, hoping for a natural small c look. Thanks in advance!
