My nipples seem to be slightly uneven, however, I'm only 10 days postop. Is there a chance this will even itself out? I'm not seeing my surgeon for another 5 weeks. Before the surgery he did mention my left breast was slightly larger. Thank you!
Answer: Nipple asymmetry Dear Ferrofum,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast lift surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 10 days post op.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Nipple asymmetry after breast uplift Thank you for your question and picture. It is perfectly normal at this stage of healing to notice some asymmetry in volume,shape ,size and nipples position. Some differences will improve with time some others especially if preexistent might be impossible to correct. You have a very good result so far so be patient and speak with your surgeon at your follow up if still concerned (preoperative pictures could be helpful to appreciate the result) Kind Regards Mr Giorgio Netri

Answer: Nipple Differences After Breast Lift Your results are excellent for 10 days. Many appearance changes will occur for months and up to one year so the analysis at this point is premature and can be unnecessarily anxiety provoking. Realistically, there is no such thing as perfect breast symmetry, and normally one side can heal faster or be more swollen etc compared to the other early on the in the post-op period. Trust your doctor's expertise and be patient.

Answer: Uneven nipples after breast lift. (photo) Hello dear!! Thanks for your question and provided information. It is normal. You are still early on healing process and right now you might have one breast bigger than the other, feel swollen and also have bruises; this can happen for the first 4 to 6 months. Please be patient, but if the situation doesn't improve over time, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon. Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)
