Breast augmentation or nipple procedure?

E
Easygoing595425Oct 5, 2021

I like the look of my breasts and nipples when my nipples are erect, but when they are not they do not protrude from my areola at all and appear flat. However I've ready that they're not truly "flat" since they protrude when cold or stimulated. Is this normal because I feel like I never see that on other women. I have small breasts anyway so I wonder if this could be helped with an augmentation? Otherwise I'm curious about less invasive options.

It doesn't appear that you have significant [problem beside your nipples being "divided" . That can be corrected in local anesthesia; tenderness and lump should not be associated with nipple deformity and should be evaluated by a plastic surgeon.

The permanent stitch can be released. It is unlikely that at 3 years post op the scar will widen. You can then undergo a repeat donut mastopexy. However, you have asymmetrical nipple-areola complexes. You would benefit from revising both nipple-areola complexes. Best Wishes, Gary...

It appears that you have inverted nipple. Usually reason for that are short and dysfunctional milk ducts. Surgical correction may help. In person consultation with a plastic surgeon with experience in this problem is recommended. Good luck.

I see two issues here: 1 Nipple effacement - your left nipple does not have the projection that you would expect. This is easily corrected under local anesthesia. 2) Asymmetric areolas. This can be treated to constrict the arealae to the desired size. This is more involved. There is also a risk...
