Nipples Bigger After Breast Augmentation?

    Nipple Areola Size Increases after Breast Augmentation.  The sensation changes usually do get better over time and frequently resolve.

What you are experiencing is a normal response to breast augmentation surgery. Simply, the larger volume that the implant imparts will put on stretch the nipple-areola complex. They are not in fact any bigger, they just appear larger than when there were not on stretch before surgery.

The nipple areola complex can appeared enlarged due to the increased breast size.  This may decrease slightly as the swelling subsides.

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.

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.
