6 wks post UBL, explantation of 670cc's, (36FF to 36DD/D), I have good nipple sensitivity, my infra-mammary scars are high & my nipples are high too. I am still early in the healing process and I have no unreasonable expectations. I have discussed with my surgeon that at the 6 mo mark we begin "scar revision" in office with a local to "lower the nipples and the scars". Are we talking about just stretching my skin lower thus pulling the nipples down as well, or do I need a fold elevation?

A mastopexy or breast lift
operation is designed to improve the shape and position of the breast without
reducing their size. It is used for breasts which sag or droop (ptosis).
Sagging of the breasts may occur with normal development for some women, or as
part of the aging process....
Your intra-operative bleeding/bruising must have been quite minimal, since yellow coloration is one of the final color stages of blood re-absorption (Purple-black, purple, dark salmon red, pink in varying stages, sometimes greenish hues, then yellow, and finally back to "normal" skin color)....
All procedures must be tailored to produce the results you want from your starting anatomy. It is difficult to know if breast lift and autoaugmentation techniques may be appropriate without an exam or pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA
