Reduction in May 2023, my nipples have been ruined. Correction options? (photos)

August 6, 2024
Asked By:lish6902 in Raleigh, North Carolina

I had a reduction in May 2023 in which my nipples have been ruined. I would like advice on how one would correct this. My surgeon said “he has never seen this happen.” I am not confident in him attempting to correct this. I also now have “rolls” on my sides of my breasts. Would like advice on correction of this too. He states I should “just accept it as the correction would look worse.” Finally, is it normal to have sagging within a year of reduction/lift? (Pics available.)
