Low placed nipples and their effect on breast augmentation

November 11, 2015
Asked By:RSMember5778 in Calgary, AB

Just left a consultation, I was told I have low placed nipples, sitting at 3 inches when I stand with my hands down at my sides. However I am able to easily poke my nipple and move it upwards at least 2 inches. I know regularly your nipple is supposed to sit at about 6 inches up from the bottom of the breast. However because mine are so small my nipples just sit low. I'm wondering if any doctors and patients have encountered such an issue and still got centralized nipple results.
