I am 6 months post op and I think my implants are not settling properly. I think there isn’t enough volume at the top of my breasts. I have 480cc uhp textured implants. For the past couple of months I have also noticed that no matter which bra I wear, my nipples stick out at the top of the bra. If I would want to fix this by getting another surgery, does this mean that I would have to get different implants again or are there any other methods that don’t require the implants to be changed?
Answer: Nipple Surgery - Nipples too high Your nipples are probably not too high... instead your implants are too low and thereby causing the lower pole of the breast to "bottom out". This can happen if your surgeon uses implants that too big for your frame. Another cause is the surgeon takes the risk and inserts the implant through an incision that is too low giving the implant room to descend. Repair requires tightening the pocket (called plication) and I personally use mesh (Galatea) to support malpositioned implants. Best Wishes!

Answer: Nipples Your nipples are not too high, but your breasts have bottomed out from the weight of the implants. You need to go with smaller implants, perhaps an internal bra with mesh for support, and lift your inferior pocket back to its normal position.

Answer: Low placed implants Properly placed implants would bring nipples on the top of the breast mount. It appears that bringing lower breast crease (imframammary fold) up would correct currently high riding nipples. Good luck.
