Breast reconstruction with implants - are my nipples to high? (Photo)

A revision to place the implants higher on your chest wall will help lower the apparent position of the nipples-areolas to correct this issue.

Nipple position that is too high is a challenging problem. For women who have been considering a breast lift to elevate nipple position, it may seem like the nipple could never be placed too high. Contrarily, nipples that are placed too high can be very bothersome and cause 'nip slips' in bras, bathing suits, and low cut tops. If this is a problem for you, nipple position can be lowered with breast reconstruction revision surgery.

Implant size is also something that can be addressed at secondary surgeries. Implant size can be increased by changing the profile, or the width of your implants. The right choice for you depends on your aesthetic goals.

Dear Dynamic139318,
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.
