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.
Answer: Nipples too high Hello,Normal measurements vary but if your nipples are constantly coming out of your shirt, they may be too high. This can be corrected, but will create scars on your lower breasts and moving them down a great distance can be challenging. It's best to get a consult with your plastic surgeon to discuss solutions. Best of luck!

Answer: Nipples too High After Breast Lift / Implants. #submuscular placement and #breast lift Thank you for your question! While I do not have any photos to base your question on, the appearance of too high of nipple placement could be due to different causes. Your breast fold may be located lower on your chest making the nipple placement look to high. The distance from the bottom of the areaola to the fold could appear too long and the breast looks "bottomed out." The attempt by the surgeon was to try to give more upper breast pole fullness. Rather, the implants sit low, and the nipple is located in the upper half of the implant projection. Another reason for the nipples appearing too high is the distance from the breast fold to the nipple areola was made too long by accident. When the tissue heals down the line, the implant can appear to be sitting too low relative to the nipple height thus giving a less than satisfactory result. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who performs a number of the breast lifts to assist you with what to do next or a possible fix or explanation for your nipples "popping out" after surgery. I also recommend you discuss the results with your plastic surgeon who originally performed the operation. There may be an easy fix, or the nipples may "calm down" after enough time from surgery. Hope this helps!

Answer: Nipples too High After Breast Lift / Implants Thank you for your question. Without a photo can be difficult to answer. If your nipple was placed to high then a skin wedge excise is performed to correct. If the Implant has dropped then the fold will need to be lifted. Consult with a board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Implant position It is an interesting topic and I do hear it sometimes. The problem can be from implants displaced too low. It would need a revision to lift the implants higher and into the correct location.

Answer: Nipple too high after breast lift The typical nipple to fold distance depends largely upon the size of the implant that you have. That being said, do not despair. Lowering the nipple cab almost definitely be performed. Good luck.
