I saw a post on here saying that if someone has far apart nipples, using a moderate/moderate plus profile implant can help them not seem so far apart compared to if they received high profile which could enhance the nipples looking farther apart. My surgeon said he would use high profile implant, but if moderate plus would make my nipples look more center, I would rather do that. Chest width: 29cm Nip to nip: 23cm Base Diameter: 14.5cm Would moderate plus be better for me?
Answer: Excellent question. There is a spectrum with regard to what is considered a pretty breast, including the relation of the nipple/areola to the rest of the breast. A normal and aesthetic position of the nipple areola can be centered on the breast or slightly lateral (toward the arm). If it is off center toward the midline it can appear peculiar and "cross-eyed". An implant will need to be wide enough to aesthetically augment the breast without making the nipple areola look too "off sides". The trade off is that the more "centered" your nipple will appear in relation to the augmented breast, the more lateral breast ("side boob") you will notice, and some women find that objectionable. Your nipple/areolae are indeed fairly lateral and therefore implant selection is critical with regard to width, and final implant position in your breast is also very important and will relate to both the surgery performed and your ultimate healing process.

Answer: Profile The profile selected depends upon your measurements and the volume you chose. Your surgeon will be the best one to guide you in this.

Answer: No; profile is mostly about projection I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Does distance between nipples affect implant profile? (photo) Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. The profile should be determined based on the outcome you are hoping to achieve with moderate profile implants being wider, improving side boob and cleavage while a full profile is more narrow and grows cup size faster. I would advocate for a moderate profile but an in-depth discussion of your goals is necessary.

Answer: Implant profile and areola/nipple position It is very unlikely that different implant profile (moderate vs. high) will significantly affect position of the areola/nipple. More important is to place implant to be centered underneath areola if significant discrepancy in areola position exists preoperatively. Patient just have to accept the fact that small asymmetries are not that visible and should be considered normal even if not perfect. Good luck.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Well-placed implants should do very little to alter the distance between your nipples. Since implant selection is based on enhancing your existing breast parameters, the profile/projection of the implant will not change the base diameter and hence, not affect the nipple distance. I hope this helps.
