I have been advised that since my nipple is low and my ideal pics have the nipple high on the breast mound, revision of the pocket will be difficult. My dr, dr Buchanan is saying that with the bigger implant it will raise my nipple positioning. He is saying he will use the same imframammary incision too. Is this untrue? Please if anyone knows dr buchanans work and experience please advise me if I should go with someone else!

Answer: Going From 375 to 600cc An exam and preoperative photos would be useful in providing recommendations. Depending upon the extent of dissection of the pocket, there may be opportunity for improvement and positioning.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Answer: Wishful Thinking Hello,I don't know your doctor, but you will not either get elevation of the nipple on the mound nor will you get symmetry of your nipple position (one is lower than the other because one breast is more sagging). Surgeons that specialize in cosmetic breast surgery including lifts, reductions, and revisions, can tell you that volumetric increases do not yield upward rotation of the nipple on the mound itself; for any increase in the nipple's height that does occur, the mound increases as much or more.If you want bigger breasts, there's no doubt that larger implants will help. But if you want breasts that have a 'perky' appearance, i.e. high riding nipple, then you'll need a breast lift too. Go on some consults with specialist and look at their results, and bring the clinical before photos of yourself so they can find similar patients in their gallery. See if any surgeons just did an augmentation.Best of luck!
