What kind of complications could be occurring?
Answer: Pre-existing nipple position determines where they are after implants Your nipple position before implants was fairly far to the side, which is normal, but the implants expanded the skin making them appear even farther to the side. If the implants were centered behind the nipples, they would be half in your armpits and several inches apart. You may need implants that are less wide as well, but what you have is not a complication.

Answer: Why are my nipples not centered within my implant? How would this be corrected? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that you are going through this. Unfortunately your surgeon chose implants too wide for your natural breast dimensions and this has prevented them from sitting centered behind your nipple and areola. Unfortunately the best correction is to remove the implants, heal, and then return to place more size-appropriate devices. Hope this helps.

Answer: Why are my nipples not centered within my implant? How would this be corrected? Based on all the photos provided-your nipples are positioned more laterally-which should have been discussed with you pre-opreraively. I would recommend staged approach. Removal of these large implants, giving it time to heal and once healed- Re-Augmentation with smaller, cohesive implants.

Answer: The implants Are not in a terrible position, look at your preop pictures, the way your body developed your nipples are far lateral towards the outside of your chest, so this was going to happen to some extent regardless of implant chosen or surgeon performing procedure. Should have been a conversation before surgery, at this point, downsizing will help, for sure the LEFT is not going to be fixed by downsizing along, imagine where the implant would need to be in order your your nipple to be centered, it would be hanging more than halfway off your chestimpossible.
