Answer: Your nipples are in your natural position for your mounds as surgeons mark you before surgery and ther meridians are measured off your anatomic position... unless you asked that they be moved sideways in some way. When nipples are really off kilter, some surgeons recognize this and will offer moving the nipple sideways, either in or out, depending on the mound and implant position. Your nipples do point more lateral but they do not look bad at all. At this point, you must focus on healing and if a major issue for you down the road AND you're willing to accept poor scarring from a Benelli lift, you can have your nipples moved. I would suggest you heal and enjoy them as they still look very good, especially this early out from your procedure.

Answer: Breast revision question If you look back at your pre-operative breast photos, your nipples sat to the outside of your breasts from the beginning. I think on your POD 18 photos you have a good result and I believe if this is the volume you wanted, a high profile implant is the only way to achieve this. I encourage you to maintain close follow-up with your board-certified plastic surgeon. You have a lot of healing to do and it will be months before you see the final results.I wish you well.Dr. Edwards
