What can be done to correct off-centered nipple within areola after breast lift? (Photo)

 Due to swelling and asymmetric tension the nipple can sometimes be pulled preferentially to one side or the other. As swelling subsides it usually ends up in the desired location.

It is way too soon to understand your final result as many changes occur within the first several months.You will have a better idea after 6 months. And yes, if still off, then correction often possible as an office procedure.

I think that at just a week or two,  it is too early to see the final result. At this point you have swelling and you have to give it more time to heal.

I can appreciate your anxiety over this issue, but I think most Plastic Surgeons (including myself) would tell you to be patient and let your incisions and wounds heal.  You are only 2 weeks out from surgery.  I can assure you that it is impossible to know exactly what the nipple and areola will look like at this point.  It takes at least 6 months to get a good idea, and a full year for incisions to assume their final appearance.  Right now try to focus on your overall results.  Are you happy?  Do you look better in your clothes?  Are you getting compliments?  Very few people will see your breasts without clothing.  If you find that after waiting an appropriate amount of time you are still displeased with the appearance of the areola, it might be possible to excise a small ellipse of areola out from the bottom to even out the space above and below the nipple.Stay in regular contact with your Plastic Surgeon.  He or she will guide you through the process.  Best of luck!

Reviewing the posted photo to me the nipple appears close to center of the areola. Maybe in person examination might demonstrate a off centered appearance???

It is not clear to me on this photo the boundaries of the nipple, but it does look a bit off center. Once healed there will be several options to improve this, either by revision surgery, or tattooing of the flesh colored skin around the upper part of the areola.  A photo showing the entire chest would have been useful.  All the best 

Thank you for the photo though an in person examination is really needed to see what you are talking about and whether it just needs tincture of timeDr Corbin
