I got a breast aug+lift 2 yrs ago & one breast dropped after few months but just recently started to jiggle when I run. The other is so tight the nipple is pointing down. My nipples are weird I have gotten many steroid shots. Can i have my dr cut around my nipples or will my body again produce scar tissue too quickly and it will be the same result? I am sad my dr never told me I would need to reoperate if I didnt massage alot. I cant help but feel he shouldve known better/put the implant lower.

I advise my patients that, if they desire, they can have coffee the same evening as their breast augmentation surgery. None of my 6500 patients, over 25 years, have reported any ill effects. Hope this information is helpful and reassuring.Dr. Ted EisenbergBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
