Part of Nipple Missing After Breast Lift/Implants

March 29, 2011
Asked By:dodgegal in Calgary, AB

Part of my right nipple (about half of the lower half) is missing after a combination lift/augmentation that was done a year ago. I now find out that many doctors won't do this combination surger for that exact reason. What can be done about this?
