Breast lift, full anchor three weeks ago. Right breast is mostly numb, barely any swelling in either, but left nipple is "puffy" since surgery, right is flat. Looks like it's barely stuck on. Nipples share paisley look (upside down tear drops). Wanted nipples higher on breast. Left has dropped already. Only 22, went in for aureola reduction, out with anchor lift. Please do not say breasts are sisters not twins, specifically asked for twins, informed compassionate answers only.

Answer: Should my nipples look like this after breast lift? Your pictures show what is not that unusual this close to your operation date. Swelling and irregularities usually subside over time. At least three months is required if not up to 6 months at times. In regards to wanting higher placed nipples, you will just have to wait for complete healing before any decision can be made about the result. Sometimes, re-operation is indicated for that reason. You will have to discuss that with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast lift after three weeks Asymmetrical swelling is very common after breast surgery. One nipple can protrude more than the other, one breast can be more bruised, swollen or numb compared to the other. It is still very early in your recovery period to know what the end result will be. It can take 3-6 months to get to that point, and your breasts will go thru many changes until that time. Each time you meet with your Dr. on your post operative visits, he or she will tell you what to expect as you are progressing.
