I had my breast aug (no lift) about 6 months ago. 425UHP UTM. My nipples sit very uneven and my implants seem to have two different shapes. It’s not that one hasn’t dropped, because PS doesn’t want the left breast (higher nipple) to drop anymore to avoid bottoming out. Could pocket tightening help with the unevenness? PS sug crescent lift on RB, but that nipple is already larger and I’d like to avoid stretching. Can sn areola reduction be done as well? Or would pocketing tightening even the out?
Answer: Retightening Implant Pocket "Thank you for sharing your pictures and questions. I'm sorry to hear about your post-operative concerns. Retightening the implant pocket could address the asymmetry. Additionally, using breast mesh might offer added support to prevent future displacement. Switching the implants might also be a consideration for shape uniformity. For the nipple discrepancy, you might consider a crescent lift or donut lift to manage size concerns. It's essential to have a detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon to weigh the pros and cons of each approach tailored to your specific anatomy and desires. Best wishes!

Answer: Breasts I do not recommend the crescent lift since it tends to just stretch out the areola in an odd fashion. You may need a peri-areolar lift. I would suggest tightening the inferior pocket on the side that is bottoming out to put it back up in place. I suspect, you were not even prior to surgery, but notice the difference more now since your breasts are larger.

Answer: Uneven Nipple and Pocket Thank you for sharing. As I look at the photos, the distance from the nipple to the fold on the left is significantly longer than the right. This combined with the high nipple on the left makes me think you may already have some bottoming out. Pocket tightening is not likely to affect the nipple position. To correct the position of the nipples and the implant malposition, you may benefit from bottoming out repair on the left and then you may or may not need a lift to adjust the nipple position. Crescent lifts, can stretch the nipple as the tension is only on one side of the nipple. Keep this in mind and discuss with your surgeon. Best of luck to you moving forward.
