Is it safe to get fat injected to the nipples?

Question

For permanent stiff nipples? How long does it last? Cost? How many cc would you recommend?

Mariam Awada, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello, thank you for your inquiry. It is safe to do so. Your Board Certified Plastic surgeon would have to measure you and go over what your goals are so you can both achieve them together. Using the right type of fat is necessary. Some adipose tissue is larger and used for fat transfer into the buttocks and breasts. Make sure you ask your Surgeon what your options are. Best of luck!

Dear suncandy,
Generally speaking, it is safe to get fat transferred under nipple/areola complex. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

According to Temecula, CA plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Eichenberg, Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers can occasionally trigger an infection. “In general, (nipple injections) are safe, but because there are bacteria around the milk ducts in any woman, there is a higher risk of infection that with injecting in other areas,” he says.Injection of fat or altering the placement of dermis can make the nipples appear perkier or more erect.Best to consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the pros and cons of temporary versus permanent fillers.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, it is safe to inject fat into the nipples to make them fuller. If your nipples are very "active", the fat may not last permanently.  Fillers can also be injected into nipples, but this may last only up to a year. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your options.

Yes, it is safe to get fat transferred under nipple/areola complex but I would recommend scheduling an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for an assessment and discuss your options.
