I was told I have a short nipple to inframammary fold length during my initial consultation with my PS. I was told that this would most likely result in the implants taking a longer time to "settle", but I was never told about any size limitations. I'm about one month from my sizing appointment and I want to ensure that I have realistic expectations going into my consultation. I am currently a small A cup and was hoping to achieve a full C-cup/ small D-cup with more upper pole fullness.
Answer: Short Nipple to Inframmary Fold Distance Having a short inframmary fold to nipple distance is fairly common. The larger the implant, the longer the arc from nipple to inframammary fold distance is required to center your implant behind your nipple. If your fold is not lowered with a large implant, the majority of your implant will sit above your nipple position. With a small implant, minimal inframammary fold manipulation is required. With a large implant, the fold will need to be lowered to accommodate the implant, increasing your long term risk of bottoming out.

Answer: Does a short nipple to IMF limit the size of my implant? Thank you for sharing your question. If your implant is not large, your breast skin will stretch and create a more natural breast appearance over time. If a large implant is desired, you would need to lower your fold or stage your augmentation over two operations. Hope this helps.

Answer: Short inframammary fold to nipple distance From my experience, it would be best to lower the fold to 7-8cm below the nipple. The nipple should ideally sit in the middle of the breast, so as a rough guide, the distance from the nipple to the inner and outer and lower border should be the same. So if your breast width is 14cm as an example, the fold should be about 7cm below the nipple.

Answer: Good question. There is no question your fold will need to be lowered significantly. The normal distance from the nipple to fold in a well proportioned pretty breast of C-D cup size will be 9-11 cm. If the fold is not lowered adequately you will be top heavy and look artificial and fake, and have a very "augmented" look rather than a pretty well proportioned natural looking breast. Make sure you discuss your size and fold concerns thoroughly with your plastic surgeon, and be sure that your aesthetics align with your surgeon's. Good luck.
