I’m concerned with my nipples being a little high.. what can be done about that? Are they high enough that I need a revision? My surgery was July 2022
Answer: Are my nipples too high and what can be done to correct them? Excellent question! Unfortunately your nipples are high and the implants are low. Good news is that your breast fold is not the problem. The problem is that there is too mush space between your nipples and your breast fold so your implants, and the bottom part of your breasts are falling over the breast fold. This is called pseudo ptosis and is an easy fix!!! I believe pocket revision with lower breast pole reduction/lift is your best option. This will reposition your implants and will reduce the amount of skin and tissue between your nipple and you breast fold. Giving you tighter lifted breasts with a more aesthetic nipple positioning. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: Implant position I agree with the previous answer. It looks like your implants have settled too low. You should review options for correction with your surgeon if it bothers you. Best of luck.

Answer: Breasts Your nipples are not too high, but your breasts have sagged. the inferior pockets need to be tightened and you may need mesh for better support. You may need to go down in size since your tissue is not supporting the extra weight well now.

Answer: Nipples too high? Hello, thank you for your question. it is difficult to say given your arms are up in the photo. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your options. One year out of surgery is an adequate amount of time to address concerns.

Answer: Revision I would recommend a revisionary surgery to set the appropriate distance from the nipple to your breast fold. This is a common problem that may happen if there was no horizontal removal of excess skin and breast tissue in the breast fold/lower pole of the breast. I highly recommend finding an experienced, well-trained plastic surgeon with particular attention to revisionary breast surgery. Best of luck

Answer: Nipple location Hi Exuberant171027Thanks for sharing, based on your photo, it seems that the nipples are in good position, but the implant appears to be placed too low on the chest wall causing most of the volume of the implant to be on the lower aspect of the breast. You may consider a revision to reposition the breast implants. However, the first step is to have a discussion with your surgeon or seek a second opinion by a board-certified plastic surgeon for a better in person assessment. Good luck.
