Hello, I have been looking at before and after photos and it's been hard to find pictures of women who looked like me pre operatively. I've found some that are close but I don't have a good idea of what I can realistically expect. I'm concerned that, because my breasts sit far apart and low on my body and that my nipples point too far outward, that an augmentation will exaggerate these qualities. Or are these all things that are totally fixable? I'm 5'8" and wear 34B, if that helps.
Answer: Width Width is the most important part of choosing an implant. I always choose the size for a patient based on the width of their chest and breast. You cannot move your nipple position so making sure the implant width matches is important.When the width of the implant fits your chest / breast width, they look nice and provide good cleavage without extending too far into your underarm. The implant will need to be placed appropriately so that the nipple position does not appear to look outward. If the implant is placed too medially, then yes, it can make them look outward. The implant should be centered behind the nipple to optimize their appearance.

Answer: Breast Augmentation You are a good candidate for breast augmentation however, based on your photos I think breast augmentation will exaggerate this - you should keep this in mind. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Can Exaggerate Lateral Nipple Position. Thank you for the photos. For the most part, breast implants are round. When placed under the breast they stretch maximally at the center and have less volume (and stretch) at the edges. This has the effect of raising the skin at the center of the breast implant the most, and pushing the skin near the edges of the implant out radially. Your nipples are very lateral, so the center of the breast implant will be well inside the position of your nipples. When the implants expand your breasts, they will tend to make the nipples look more lateral. The closer together the implants are placed, the less projection will be provided behind your nipples and the more lateral they will look. On the other hand, if the implants are placed farther apart, the nipples will be a little more centered on the breast mound (better out of clothing) but the gap between the breasts will be bigger. A smaller gap will look better in clothing, but the nipple placement will look worse.It is hard to tell from the photos, but your nipple/areolae appear puffy in the left-most picture. If this is the normal relaxed shape of your breasts, this will likely continue to be the shape after breast augmentation. Puffy nipples are often corrected with a peri-areolar lift. This type of lift could also be used to move the nipple up and more toward the middle. This type of lift cannot move the nipple very far, but it could help. If you do not have puffy nipples, the lift could still be used for nipple position. If you do, it could help both issues.When you choose your Board Certified plastic surgeon, be certain to ask them the questions you are asking here, and go through all your options. A lift can always be added later if the nipple position is bothersome, but it is worth discussing this option before your breast augmentation. Breast lifts are often used to reposition the nipple/areola complex higher on the breasts, and I have included a link with some example. Best of luck to you.

Answer: My breasts are wide set and my nipples point outward, will an augmentation exaggerate this? Thank you for your question and photograph. Based on your photos I do think a breast augmentation can give you a nice result.It is good that you are aware of the wide separation of your breasts. Breast augmentation will not correct this wide separation. However a proper procedure by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon should improve the overall appearance of your breasts.Just be aware that the wide separation will persist and generally speaking asymmetries and other differences in breast anatomy can be exaggerated when the breasts are larger.I would not let this dissuade you however as I think you will enjoy having an improved shape and size to your breast.Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is very experienced in breast augmentation.
