I’m a 25 year old woman who underwent breast augmentation (435 smooth high profile) 6 months ago and my left breast seems to be off centre, as in, the nipple and underlying breast tissue is not lying on the centre of the implant. I’m trying to be chill about it and not worry so much but it does seem to stick out like a saw thumb and makes me anxious about dating.

Answer: Is my nipple too far out? 6 months post-op breast augmentation. A number of options may be available to center your nipples more on the breast mound. Ideally, the implant could be moved more laterally or to the side. This would have the effect of moving the nipples inward or toward your sternum/breast bone. Without the benefit of preoperative photographs, it's hard to estimate the degree of change that could be achieved. There are women who naturally have nipples positioned to the sides and placing implants may not result in an appreciable change.

Answer: Implant Malposition Good afternoon, Your implant is placed too medially, which rotates your nipple outwards making it point off to the sides- that is likely a technical error in pocket creation. If you original surgeon cannot or will not correct it then seek an experienced revision surgeon.
