Can my uneven ripples be easily corrected? 9 months post op (photo)

Question

I’m about 9 months out so things have settled. My nipples seem very uneven. Is this easily corrected?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You had the lollipop lift which lifted the areolas but not the center mass of your breasts.  Your breasts are still low on the chest wall.  At this time, I recommend a repeat lift using The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery.  This will straighten out the level of the areolas and take care of the scar around the right areola.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Dear Luminous857053,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Yes, your areolae can be made more round and symmetrical if you wish. Please go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns.

Based on your posted, photo appears your issue of a symmetry of your nipple. Ariola is very minor. Please discuss with your previous surgeon. We see in person or virtually a board-certified Plastic Surgeon , who might be able to do a minor revision. But there is never any guarantee to gain perfect symmetry by any surgeon. Good luck.
