Can dermal filler be used to make nipples appear more erect and plump?

Question

I had a breast reduction last year using a free nipple graft. My nipples are no longer erect and I’m wondering what are my option. Can I get dermal filler to the area to create plump nipples or is that not possible? Has anyone ever tested this theory.

It is possible to use dermal filler to fill out and "plump" nipples after a free nipple graft. Using your own fat as filler in the form of fat grafting to the nipple, or even a small piece of tissue from your skin (a rolled dermal graft) are also options to augment the flattened appearance of a nipple after free nipple grafting.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

A normal nipple can hardly hold any of the filler, because it has active ducts where the filler would go. In your case, since you had a nipple graft, staged injections of fillers should improve the projection of your nipple. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
