Nipples too High After Breast Lift / Implants

M
MinxsSep 9, 2010

I had a BL with silicone 300 cc's under the muscle done in Jan. '10. My nipples pop out of every shirt, bra and bathing suit top making for an interesting summer. Is there anything that can be done to correct this? And what would be the "typical" measurement between the crease and nipple? Thank you.

First of all, there is no reason to believe that scar tissue formed after your nose surgery means anything at all if you were to have surgery on your breasts (or anywhere else on your body, for that matter). Secondly, with regard to capsular contracture,...

Silicone gel implants feel much better than saline.  They also have a smaller chance of showing ripples.  The new generation cohesive gel implants are particularly nice.  Go with silicone unless you have a strong preference for the saline.

Thank you for the question. From the photographs it appears lack of breast volume in upper pole and increased size of areola with drooping of the nipple. To achieve a pleasing result, you would need an augmentation with implants but also need moving the nipple up. A crescentic uplift will...

Its early days to see the final results but it is apparent that nipple positions are different. You can benefit from revision mastopexy to improve the upper pole fullness. Please discuss with your surgeon if a mesh can help with your results and support the tissues. You will get better results...
