I can't decide whether I need nipple repositioning or a breast lift or nipple reduction or all three?

Bigg and betterNov 2, 2013
I am unhappy with my nipples. I find them rather large for my small frame 4'11" although I would not mind them too much if they were located higher on my breasts. I am not too sure if they lay too close to the sides and ahould be slightly more centered.

The choice is based on your aesthetic demands. If you want to feel good in your clothes and be proud of your breasts, you may wish to undergo another surgery. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Having a breast lift done with large implants can lead to problems down the road such as additional sagging and thinning of the skin.  I personally would not advise going that large. Good luck!
