I’m 32, done having kids. My nipples fold over and look saggy. I want implants and want to increase my size 2 cups. Is there a separate procedure I will need to have to fix my nipples or will the implants push them out enough that they will appear not as saggy?
Answer: Implants and nipple placement To answer your question, " Will implants fix my sagging nipples"? Implants will only help pop up nipple placement to a certain degree. There are many factors that need to be considered before concluding that in your specific situation only implants would help. Generally, if your nipples are at the bottom of your breasts, or pointing down, implants will not help this situation. You will need if not a lift, a second procedure to fix your nipple placement.

Answer: Sounds like you would like a papuloplasty Saggy nipples can make you feel less sexy and vivacious. Sounds like you have a specific augmentation goal in mind. I'll help with your specific implant selection when we do custom sizing in the office setting. Your decision making about the augmentation includes the desire to have your nipples rejuvenated at the same time. A papuloplasty is a plastic surgical procedure that happens in the office or at the time of the augmentation surgery. It does not increase your recovery time to change the shape or perkiness of the nipple. If you've already had your augmentation, then I can perform a papuloplasty on one or both sides in the office under local anesthesia. If it is too big it can be reduced in projection or diameter, to make it look less conspicuous. The scars are imperceptible. If the nipple is inverted, it can be everted to look like a normal projected papule.

Answer: Saggy nipples Unfortunately, you did not include a picture for evaluation. Nipples that are too long or "fold over" as you described can be reduced in length if necessary. This could be done under local anesthesia in an office setting. I don't think that simply adding implants will solve the problem long-term. I suggest that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person and review your options with you.

Answer: Sagging Nipples Hello and thank you for your question! Placing an implant alone will NOT lift your breasts. Your nipple position will still be low and the breasts will still have some ptosis (drooping). A breast lift will certainly lift your breasts to a desirable position. However, as you may know, a breast lift will require more incisions and thus resulting in more scarring. It is often times challenging inserting a larger implant during a breast lift surgery because of the risks associated with this. Such risks include: a lot of pressure on the incisions with a larger implant can cause poor wound healing, premature sagging. Often times when the procedures are separated into two step procedures, a patient is able to have larger implants. Step one would be to have the Mastopexy (Breast Lift) surgery alone. Step two would be to have the Breast Implant surgery.I would suggest seeing a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a thorough examination and evaluation. Best of luck to you!
