Nipple positions too close after a breast reduction. What are my options?

August 26, 2017
Asked By:tashanon in Melbourne, AU

I am nearly 1 year post op of a breast reduction and have been struggling with my nipple position and breast shape. I feel like my nipples are very high and close together, so there is not much upper pole or inner breast fullness. I often find that my nipples peak out of the top of my bra's and bathing suits. While my left nipple is 11 from the centre of my chest, my right nipple is only 9cm. I was wondering if there were any options I could take to try and get them in a more natural position?
