I am interested in nipple length reduction surgery. Is there an increased risk of breast cancer after this surgery? or other health risks related to breasts?

The lower part of your breast with the higher nipple does hang down more. If this were shortened, your nipple might not appear to be as high without having to move the nipples. Please discuss this with your surgeon.
Hi, thanks for your question. What I think your surgeon is intending to do is to take a wedge of skin out of the lower pole of your breast with the higher nipple to reduce the nipple to fold distance and so lower the nipple on that side. This is unlikely to cause stretch marks. This may improve...
As it is possible to just move the nipple, I suggest a mastopexy lift with implants below the muscle. The incisions would be the same as in your wish pic. If you would like to go over in more detail, feel free to reach out to my office for consultation. Smith Plastic Surgery 702-838-2455
