I had a breast augmentation 4 wks ago, I had 330cc under the muscle. Things are still settling as they remain a little high & swollen but I understand this will take time. However my nipples seem much bigger since my op. They are even bigger then when I was pregnant & breast feeding. I am experiencing a lot of tingling & burning in my nipples is this something to do with it? Do you think they wi go down? Thank you

Answer: Nipple change after breast augmentation
What you are describing is a common change that occurs after a breast augmentation. All of your skin on the breast gets stretched out after an augmentation, and that includes the nipple and areola. There is also usually increased sensitivity that will decrease over time. The length of time can vary from patient to patient. Use nipple protectors as needed until the sensitivity resolves.

Answer: Large nipples? Areola?
In most cases, after breast augmentation the areolas will expand and look larger than previous to surgery. In addition, some patients with tighter than average breast skin can have a temporary expansion of the nipples. It turns out the implants push everything forward - even the nipples. In most patients, with time and breast skin stretch, things look more balanced when the nipples return to normal projection. Best wishes - Dr. Aldo.
