Can Nipple Position Be Corrected After Breast Lift/augmentation? (photo)

Although I do not have the benefit of seeing your preop. photos, your result certainly looks quite reasonable.  You are correct of course - the right nipple is higher.  Was it also higher preoperatively?  It is very common for one nipple to be a little higher than the other among normal unoperated women.

As for the issue with your bra, the only way to "lower" the right nipple is by removing some tissue from the lower pole of the breast, tightening the lower pole, and lifting the breast mound, so that the nipple is a little lower relative to the most projecting point of the breast mound. 

It is not unusual for me to tighten a breast lift in this manner, to improve perkiness.  There is no other good way to lower a nipple (to do so would leave scarring that you could see above the nipple).

But your present result certainly is OK and there is no need to do anything right away.  I've attached the relevant portion of my website.

 Thank you for the question and picture.

The breast asymmetry that you referred to is visible on the picture. However, you are only 10 weeks out of  surgery-  I would  suggest you give yourself  at least 6 months before you evaluate the end results  and symmetry   of your breasts.

Depending on the final results of the surgery and careful measurements that are done at that time it is very likely that any existing asymmetry can be improved. I'm sure you understand that absolute symmetry will likely not be achieved.

I would suggest you continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon.

Best wishes.
