Ever since my breasts started to develop when i was a teenager. i have noticed that my nipples are very low and faces the ground. My breasts are more full above the nipple and not much below the nipple. It is getting worse with age even though i am currently 26 yrs old and never had children. Is there anything that can be done for this? I have a natural d cup so i am not looking for implants. I have attached a picture i found on google of someone else that is very close to how my breasts look
Answer: Good Candidate for a Mastopexy Thank you for your question. You would be a good candidate for breast lift surgery (mastopexy). I do a Circumvertical incision breast lift most commonly, which means that you would have a vertical scar down from the areola (nipple-areolar complex) to the inframammary fold. You can read more about the different incision types for breast lift / mastopexy and common questions about breast lift surgery on my website in my Guide to Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy) at the web reference below. Best of luck to you.

Answer: A lift is probably the best solution... It’s not unusual for patients with significant breast sag to present for plastic surgical consultation.When these patients are happy with their breast size, breast lift surgery is usually indicated and usually accomplishes their aesthetic goals.Under these circumstances, the use of an implant would be pointless unless more upper breast fullness is desired.Your clinical history suggests breast sag in the presence of adequate breast volume.For this reason, an implant isn’t indicated.Under these circumstances, bilateral breast lift surgery should adequately treat your problem. It’s therefore, important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience performing breast lift surgery.This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Breast Lift Raises
Looking at your photo, it appears that a breast lift would be the treatment of choice. The purpose is to raise the nipple so that it is not located at the bottom of your breast. Rather, the nipple areolar complex is centralized and lifted to a higher position. So to answer your question, there is something that can be done for your condition, it's a relatively common issue amongst women who are experiencing low nipple location of all ages!! Good luck.

Answer: Breast ptosis
The photo you have included demonstrates breast ptosis, where the nipple is located below the level of the inframammary fold. As you have sufficient breast volume, the treatment would be a mastopexy (breast lift). The cosmetic "trade off" would be the scarring required on the front of the breast to reposition the nipple/areolar complex. I would recommend consulting with board-certified plastic surgeons, who can examine you, discuss your goals, and review the risks and benefits involved. Good luck.
