I noticed after a breast lift that the nipples can look too close together because the surgeon cut too much skin off the breast between the nipples and cleavage. Can that be fixed with a future revision surgery?
Answer: Nipple placement From the provided photos it appears that your nipple placement is correct. It can be altered to a degree with revision surgery, but it does not appear it is necessary in your situation.

Answer: Position of the nipples after breast lift Normally distance from the chest midline to the nipple is around 11 cm; nipple should be positioned on the top and center of the breast mount. If nipples are placed on a side it gives unnatural look to the breasts. You should address this issue with your surgeon once you decide to do breast lift. Good luck.

Answer: Can nipple placement be moved out after a breast lift? Hello @AsianBoobies, thank you for your question. It depends on the results you want to achieve. Your surgical plan should include a breast lift that reconfigures the breast tissue and improves the position of the nipple with an inverted J-shaped scar. This is the smallest scar that can be created in this procedure. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Areolas too close together Hello, Thank you for your question. The short answer is yes it can be revised but you would have to wait at least 1 year to performing additional surgery. It also will depend on the plastic surgeon if they are willing to undergo risks of revision. There is always a degree of asymmetry after surgery , we do try our best to improve the appearance but can be difficult to predict certain outcomes. We do over correct because as time goes on the breast will slightly drop. Be patient and Im sure things over time will improve.

Answer: Nipples Measurements and examination are needed to be certain as to where your nipples should be. Sometimes the nipples are where they should be, but the pocket needs to be adjusted.
