Stiffness under nipple - is this normal? 11 months post-op

Dear Jubilant86169,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

For any new changes it is always best to visit with your surgeon for an exam. There are many reasons for what you are experiencing, most of which are completely normal. Your surgeon will let you know what may be the cause after an assessment.

Hello Jubilant86169
This area usually contains breast glandular tissue. That tissue is a stiff tissue on its own nature. However i suggest you to have an imaging for breast especially if you noticed it recently

The tissue is probably thinner in that area and you are probably feeling more of the actual implant. However, let your surgeon check you to be certain.
