I had a breast aug in tSeptember of 2024, 235cc left breast, 255cc in right breast (Sientra gummy bear). I am so unhappy with the results. My nippples are so low with the lower pole feeling empty and the upper pole is really firm and full. I wanted something very natural. Can this be fixed? Including pics of pre-op, 10 weeks post op and current.

Answer: Revision Surgery Thank you for your question. Low nipples and an empty lower pole can often be addressed with revision surgery. The issue may be related to implant placement or a tight lower pole that prevented proper implant descent. A breast lift (mastopexy) may be needed to reposition your nipples to the center of the breast mound. Lowering the implant pocket or releasing the lower pole may help fill the bottom portion of the breast for a more natural shape. A consultation with a board-certified surgeon experienced in revision breast surgery is important.

Answer: Low nipples and empty lower pole Dear Gregarious71494, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Lift recommended Your nipples were located at or even slightly below your breast fold before surgery, so the implants are making that issue more obvious. A lift would be recommended.
