Had breast lift /augmentation in 2013 and explant/lift in 2018. I can’t stand being flat so going for another breast augmentation this month. I feel my nipples sit too high and don’t want another lift as my boobs sit high as is. Will implants with more upper pole fullness help make my nipples look lower? Can a doctor just move the nipples down?
Answer: Your nipples can be visually lowered. Thank you for your question. It is almost impossible to really lower the nipple position. However, making upper pole fuller by inserting the implants will make nipple look lower. Also, by removing remaining skin in the lower pole and make lower pole shorter, will help to visually lower the nipples.

Answer: Nipple positioning You may want to talk with your surgeon about possibly removing a little skin from the lower part of your breast when you go in for the new implants. This would add very little to the surgery time and recovery and could help bring your nipples down.

Answer: Nipple position From your photo it does appear your nipple position is a bit high. An examination is needed to know for sure, but you may need more than an augmentation to correct this. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Nipples are too high post explant. Will implants with more upper pole fullness help my nipples look lower? Hello @brit415 Thank you for your question and showing your pictures. Always when I perform a breast explant, it is necessary to do a breast reconstruction with reposition of the tissues and in this way achieve an aesthetic result that is adequate. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS
