I am looking to get a breast lift, but I notice that with most ethnic patients, the nipples become black and flat. Like I can now look at nipples and be able to tell if that individual had a breast lift. What causes this? And how can it be prevented?

Answer: It could be a result of the surgeon's technique. Check your surgeon's before and after pictures. 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, if interested. 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: Lift The color change is due to the skin reacting to the scar. Darker skin usually makes darker scars. Using scar products once the sutures or tapes are removed can be helpful and avoiding sun exposure for 6 months.
