Nipples Deformed After Breast Lift/reduction?

September 2, 2013
Asked By:ale2222

I had a bilateral mastopexy with small reduction almost 2 weeks ago. My nipples are uneven, and deformed. (One is "almost" round and the other one is totally deformed, wrinkled and smaller). The stitching is also tighter in some areas around the nipples and uneven (poor craftmanship). I look like Frankenstein!!! Can this be corrected?
