How do I get my nipples sitting higher without another breast lift? (photos)

Question

I got breast lift and implants 7th may 2014 , I feel my breast are still saggy and nipples sit very low. I'm not happy this is depressing me . They are 400cc and extremely full but there's still abit of rippled skin on my breast. I did the lift because I lost 52kg. I am half my size . Please tell me if my nipples will eventually sit abit more higher or I will need a second surgery?

You do have good results although I agree your nipple position is a little low. A lift with implants can be a tricky procedure and a low nipple can be easily corrected; if the nipple is placed too high, it is very hard to correct. Most surgeons err on the side of going lower than higher.Time will not raise the nipple position; however, as the implants settle down the nipples may look more acceptable in the current location. I would suggest you wait at least 4 to 6 months before deciding to proceed with revision.

You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon and find out what the revision policy is as surgery is the only way to get the nipples up higher on your mounds.  Often, this can be done in the office under local to help minimize costs.

Congratulations on your weight loss and your subsequent breast lift surgery.  If you are unhappy with the positioning of your nipples and the sagging of your breasts then there is really no alternative to a further revisional breast lift to address this.  Speak to your surgeon about your concerns and discuss your options.

Sorry to say this, but you will need another lift if you want the nipples to sit higher.A breast lift and implant is a tough procedure to get perfect first go, especially in the massive weight loss patient cohort.Hopefully your surgeon would have talked to you about this and planned on performing revisional surgery at some stage.I hope this helps and good luck.
