Nipple position - drop and fluff (310 cc dual plane with fat grafting from under armpit)

It's difficult to predict exactly how your nipple position will change over time after a breast augmentation with fat grafting, as there are many factors that can impact the final outcome. However, I can offer some general information that may be helpful.

After breast augmentation, it's common for the breasts to appear high and tight initially. This is because the skin and tissue need time to stretch and adjust to the new implants. Over time, as the skin and tissue stretch, the implants may settle into a more natural position and the nipple may move slightly downward.

In your case, since you had fat grafting as well, the additional volume may impact the settling process. It's possible that the fat may take longer to fully integrate and the skin may need more time to stretch to accommodate the added volume.

Ultimately, the final nipple position will depend on the elasticity of your skin, the size and shape of the implants, and the amount of fat grafting you received. As your surgeon mentioned, time will be the best indicator of how your nipple position will ultimately settle. It's important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions, attend follow-up appointments, and communicate any concerns you have during the recovery process.

I hope this helps,
Best of luck !

You did not post your before photo which would show where your nipples naturally sit. You also did not state how far out from surgery you are. It can take up to 6 months for the tissues to relax and the implants settle. If you are past that time, please discuss things with your surgeon.

Dear Vivid4915,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
