Nipples too low post mastectomy and reconstruction. Should I consider a revision? (Photo)

Question

I had a prophylactic mastectomy and reconstruction 16 months ago. 5’0”, 125lbs. Implants are 310cc, moderate profile, silicone, UTM. I feel like my nipples are too low. Should I consider a revision?

For nipples that are too low post-mastectomy and reconstruction, a breast lift can be performed to raise the nipple position. Depending on the amount of elevation required, a donut style, lollipop style, or anchor pattern style can be used to raise the nipple and re-drape any loose skin.

I think that overall you have a nice result given the amount of surgery that he had initially. It is not uncommon to need slight touch ups to help you reach her goals and reconstruction. I think it would be a good time to discuss revision you are more than aa year out
