Severe uneven nipples after breast reduction - is there an option for a revision to correct? (Photo)

Asked By:nailah90 in Charlotte, North Carolina

I had a breast reduction which resulted in extreme asymmetry of my nipples. One of my nipples is too high not centered and pokes out of my bra. My surgeon offered a revision however I am not comfortable returning back to him. Is this a botched job? Is there an option for a breast revision to correct nipple placement?
