Overt signs of nipple necrosis may not become apparent for several days, especially if it involves only a part of the nipple. Often, a nipple that looks like it will necrose will recover completely. If you have concerns, you should ask to see your surgeon.
Thank you for your question. Nipple necrosis may show up immediately postoperatively within the 1st day or within several days after your surgery. It really depends on the type of mastopexy you had. If you have concerns I would recommend following up with your board-certified plastic surgeon aseptic
