Low Nipples Facing South? (photo)

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.

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.

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. 

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.

Hello,

Based on the photo you have provided, the best approach is a lift in your case since you have enough breast tissue.

However, it is not possible to provide with a detailed plan on how to go about your lift without a physical consultation.

That being said, please remember that commendable results require an exceptionally skilled surgeon to perform the surgery and settling for anything less than that increases the chances of additional corrective surgeries dramatically.
I hope this helps and please feel free to check the website below.

Thank you for your inquiry.
The best of luck to you.

In this case of low nipples facing south, something can actually be done to fix this and it’s called breast lifting. Surgical procedures can be done to lift the breasts and shape them appropriately.

Thank you for the question and photo.  A breast lift can be able to literally lift your nipple to a higher point in your breast and at the same time reduce the areola.  Breast lifts can also reduce the volume of your breasts so it would also be feasible to look into implants as well.  Best to contact a board-certified plastic surgeon and get his or her advice on the matter.  Best of luck.

An
in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess
your needs and provide true medical advice.

You have a very normal appearance for large breasts that are full. You could benefit from a breast lift but the tradeoff is scars.

Dear Kiss,

The solution to your current breast condition is breast lift surgery, as you have heard.  The issue in my opinion is whether or not you plan on having children.  Aside from the fact that any breast surgery may affect the ability to breast feed, the changes that occur in the post partum (following birth) breast may recreate your current ptotic condition.  If you are planning to have children, it may be in your better interest to defer the breast lift until childbearing is finished.  Good luck!
