Prior to surgery I had herniated/puffy areolas and asymmetrical breasts. However after having implants placed, left areola is shaped so odd. Almost beak like from sideview. The areola feels like it's sticking out and pinched down towards the ground. When my nipples are hard it looks fine. I asked my surgeon about it and he simply stated it's because my areolas are herniated. But they never hung off my breast and pointed down like this before surgery. Any other explanation? How to fix this?

Answer: Smaller implants with lift or release of inframammary fold You have not provided your before photographs but most likely your breasts where low on the chest wall. As a result the surgeon had to center the implants underneath the nipple-areola complex. Since he did not want to release your inframammary fold then the implants ended up high and your breasts are falling lower than that. At this time, I would recommend smaller implants with a breast lift or release the inframammary fold to not risk bottoming out.

Answer: Nipple issue Currently, your left implant is higher and has not dropped (I assume you are less than a month or two from surgery). This accentuates an issue you had prior to surgery: a short nipple to fold distance and tightly elastic tissues. Once your implants have fully settled, in someone like you 6 months minimum, an assess can be made to results. Possible adjustments may need to be made if one or both have not descended sufficiently. In general, as your implants drop, your nipples will ascend.

Answer: Tuberous breast needs a lift with implants The puffy areolas and very short distance from the areola to the bottom of the breast are characteristic features of tuberous breasts, and a lift is needed in order to correct it. The position of the implants isn't the issue.
