Hello I have been wanted to get a breast lift for over a year now but I am so so worried I’m going to get necrosis. I’ve been on this site for a year and I’ve seen sooo many girls get necrosis on their areolas/nipples after a breast lift. Why does this happen so much and what can I do to make sure that it won’t happen to me Thank you to all doctors that answer :)
Answer: Chances of nipple necrosis The chance of nipple or areola necrosis is very, very small. Relevant factors would be smoking history first, then technique of the lift. Especially without placing an implant, the risk to the blood supply of the nipple is minimal. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Chances are you will be reassured.

Answer: Nipple necrosis after breast lift This is a very rare complication, however smoking is the biggest risk factor. This is not an operation I ever perform on a smoker. I have never had this complication, however some techniques and perhaps breast size may be relevant. A suitably qualified and experienced PS should be able to advise you as to your risk. Good luck,Dr Steve Merten, Sydney

Answer: What are the chances of me getting necrosis on the nipples/areolas after a breast lift with no implants ? The probability is low in non-smokers and healthy patients. I have never even had a partial nipple areolar necrosis after performing hundreds of breast lifts. Find the plastic surgeon with elite credentials (education, training, experience, American Board of Plastic Surgery certification) who performs hundreds of breast procedures each year. Look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to determine the plastic surgeon who can produce the results you are seeking. Also read patient reviews.

Answer: Thank you for your question. Unfortunately there are no pictures. There are many different techniques used when performing a breast lift. The major cause for necrosis of the nipple areolar complex (NAC) is poor blood supply. For this reason plastic surgeons inform their patients that they cannot smoke before or after surgery, since smoking, second hand smoke, nicotine patches and nicotine gum will reduce blood flow to the NAC. When performing a breast lift, a lot of the techniques that are utilized cuts some of the blood supply to the NAC. I invented a breast lift technique which minimizes this loss of blood supply. Other factors also include the length that the nipple has to travel to its new location. I incorporate the FINNESSE technique, which I invented. Pain and recovery are minimal when compared to traditional techniques. I hope you find this information useful. Please watch the enclosed video.
