Just over 6 months after BA, concerned about my nipples. Is this going to change or do I need another surgery? (Photo)

Question

So I am just over 6 months BA. They are softening and slightly dropping, but my main concern is where my nipples still are. My surgeon didn’t touch my nipples and they are still in a downward position. Is this going to change or do I need another surgery? I feel they should be more centered by now. Thank you in advance.

If your nipples are still pointing downward after six weeks or so, you should definitely consult with your original surgeon. A revision may be needed in the future.

Best of luck,

Dear tneel,
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.

You chose large implants and they may have settled as much as they can. Smaller implants would have dropped and settled better. Your nipples can now be raised with a lift if you want, or you can go with smaller implants that will fit your frame and tissue better.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Appears you requested oversized implants thus causing upper pole of the breasts over inflation appearance with N/A downward positioning. Only full revision with lift can effectively improve.
