I had a revision done 5 months ago. My nipples pop out of every bra. They appear to be so high. My revision surgery was extremely painful and traumatizing. What does surgery to fix my nipples look like? Could someone please explain the common procedure to correct this? I'm worried about how invasive it is and what recovery is going to look like. Thank you so much!
Answer: When nipples peak outside your bra your lower poles are too long as your photos confirm. If your original fold is intact, a transverse plication above the fold will correct this and can be redone as your tissue stretches out with time. If you don't mind being smaller, tissue can be removed rather than simply plicating. If your fold was lowered, this may have to be corrected. Am wondering just what your revision did for you?

Answer: Nipple placement after revision Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures it appears that you would benefit from a capsulorrahphy. This requires internal sutures and a release of the upper pocket to raise the implant. Another option is to use an acellular dermal matrix to give the lower part of the implant some additional support. The downside of the ADM is the cost.
