I had a periaerolar lift. Some of my scar spread up. Current sternal notch to nipple is 22cm. What is ideal? At what measurement would you worry about nipple being too high? I ask cause revision is likely needed

Answer: Ideal measurements There are no ideal measurements because each person is built differently and what might be right for one person is not for another.

Answer: Ideal sternal notch to nipple distance Although most publications state that the ideal distance is 21 cm, this is merely a guideline affected by height, weight, body habitus, age, infra mammary fold position, etc, etc. ( I think you get the point there). It really comes down to whether the nipple is sitting on top of the breast mound and does it show when wearing a bra or bathing suit. Additionally circumareolar procedures are quite notorious for spreading scars. Difficult to be more specific without photos. I would recommend that you return to your surgeon and voice your concerns as I would ceratainly want to know of a concerned patient. Best of luck.
