I am a year and a half post op. I was very small to start. A deflated 34a. I got 500hp&590xhp. I am a 34ddd now. My nipple look like a birds beak. The point to the ground and are flat under my nipple. My implants are not centered with my nipple. Its embarrassing. Why do they do this? Can it be fixed in any way?

Answer: Breast implants with resulting nipple malposition at 1 year From the photographs you submitted, it appears that the breast tissue below the areolae are tighter than those above them. That causes the tissue above the nipple to protrude more than the tissue below. It might be possible to even the nipples out by releasing the connective tissue below them, but that would involve another procedure.

Answer: Beaky boobs:( Hi beakyboobs.I am sorry to hear about your sadness and embarrassment.I can infer that your right side has the larger implant. Your nipples appear to be low set on your chest and appear to need a lift. Your implants also seem to be a bit lower than optimally placed on your chest wall. Your profile has a "bump" rather than a smooth takeoff that may indicate a contracture (are they over the muscle)? The natural breast tissue seems to be falling or flagging off of the implant and that gives the appearance of the flattened lower pole on profile and is consistent with the upper pole bump.So, can it be fixed? Absolutely. You will need an exam. You will need another operation. Likely you will need a lift/mastopexy, possibly capsule work, possibly a change in pocket position.Please do not be embarrassed, it can be fixed, and it is not the end of the world.sek

Answer: Nipple position after augmentation It's not possible to say for sure without an examination but possibilities include upward movement of the implant from capsular contracture if this has evolved over time or perhaps incomplete release of the pectoral muscle if it has been like that from the beginning. Again, without an exam it's just guesswork but it does appear that the bottom edge of the implant is well above the level of the breast fold. It would also be helpful to see before pictures to rule out a pre-existing deformity. I would recommend that you return to your surgeon for an evaluation since it is likely that this can be improved.
