I had a breast reduction and implant revision in June 2022: .At this point, I’m unhappy with how they are settled where my left nipple is popping out of tops and bras. I have attached pictures of my current state as well as my wish picture (smiley faces over nipples). My questions are: is my wish picture achievable? If I don’t do anything now, will my nipple placement get worse (bottoming out)? What can be done with that left nipple coming out. I currently have 350cc high profile implants.
Answer: Breasts You are bottoming out some, especially on the left, which causes your nipple to pop out of the bras. don't go larger for this will occur again. More skin and tissue can be tightened on the inferior part of the breast.

Answer: Circumareola revision You need a circumareola approach that will lower the nipple-areola complex on the higher side. The skin medially can be resected near the cleavage. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Slight breast reduction asymmetry with nipple areola assymmetry Based on your post of photos, only potential revision of the areas and question of your nipple, areolas and breast can achieve a more symmetrical result. Expect fees to run $15-$20,000. Virtual Consult is required

Answer: Breast surgery outcome To make a quality assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures. If you’ve had more than one procedure, then we should ideally have access to before, and after pictures for each of your previous operations. If you don’t have before and after pictures, then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took. Plastic surgery outcomes are usually based on two variables. The first variable is the patient candidate for the procedure. The second variable is the skill and experience of the surgeon. With breast augmentation, there is a third variable, and that is the choice of implants in regards to size shape, and type. Your candidacy for breast augmentation surgery is very different than the woman in your wish picture. For that reason you don’t have the same potential outcome. Her breast looked very different than what your breast look like before surgery. It does look like your nipple position is slightly high. This is why the areola is showing out of your bra. Lowering the nipple position after a breast lift is difficult. It’s easy to raise it but not to lower it. Tightening the skin envelope at the bottom of your your breast and pushing the implant up a little higher with potential closing of the implant pocket in the lower part of the breast might help put more tissue in a higher position, but actually lowering the nipple position is difficult. I suggest you follow up with your plastic surgeon and have him or her address your concerns. For a proper second opinion, consultation schedule those as in person consultations with other plastic surgeons in your community. For second opinion, consultations come prepared bringing with you a complete set of proper before and after pictures and copies of your previous operative reports. These should all be available from your current providers office if you ask for them. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
