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: 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!
