Breast implants before Nuss procedure - will it affect the procedure?

It is unlikely that an augmentation alone will correct a Grade 2 nipple inversion (can be manually extracted, but immediately retracts). Typically, this will require stretching/releasing tethering tissue. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
