Nipple concern after breast augmentation. Are they too low? (Photo)

Question

I am 5 mos out of having a breast augmentation are my nipples to low ?

Himansu Shah, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question and photo. The nipples do appear a little and it is difficult to answer your question without examining you or reviewing your preop photos. It is best to discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Thanks for your question and photo. Yes, your nipples appear a little low. It's hard to say without looking at your before pictures if this is from the implants being too high or if you had a short nipple to crease distance to begin with. Either way, I suggest following up with your plastic surgeon who can formulate a plan to fix this. Good luck!

Dear Patient: thanks for your question and photos.  It seems they are, you can always ask your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to do revision surgery to lower the pocket.  This might be a viable option. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question and photo. I'm sorry to hear of your post0op concern. Your implants appear to be sitting too high. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon.  Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

We only have one somewhat blurry photo to see. Either your implants are too high or nipples too low. Best advice is to discuss your concerns with your surgeon and explore options to correct things.

Hi there, 
Thank you for your question. From your photo it appears as though your implants are sitting high. If your implants were to come down your areola would be sitting higher. Speak with your surgeon about your concern and potential options to correct this. 
Best,

Thank you for your question and photo. It’s impossible to make an assessment based on a photo alone, and at 5 months post-op, it’s possible that your implants are still in the process of “dropping” into place. However, if your nipples were low before getting breast augmentation, the procedure may have only made their position more noticeable. If you’re concerned, I suggest following up with your plastic surgeon.

They do look too low to me. What did your surgeon say? You should visit with them and see what they think.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes. Your nipples do appear to be too low. Schedule an appointment with your surgeon to discuss your options.
