I am thinking of getting 300cc round moderate profile implants with a over the muscle technique - my nipples point outwards would this cause them to look strange? Would they benefit from nipple reconstruction?
Answer: Outward pointing nipples. Thank you for your photo. Some patients have nipples that point straight forward, some patient’s nipples are more medially placed, and some patients, like yourself, have nipples that are wide set. When performing a breast augmentation, the implant should be centered so that the midpoint of the implant is directly behind the nipple. In patients with wide set nipples, this means that the implants sit further to the outside of the chest. I know of no way, without producing some abnormal scarring and shifting the nipple to an abnormal position on the breast, to medialize the nipples on the breast. Best wishes

Answer: Moving nipples is possible but requires a lift It's hard to tell from a photo if your overall shape might benefit from a lift to tighten the skin and center the nipples. A breast augmentation alone won't change outward pointing nipples, but it could still look great! Make an appointment to talk through your goals and decide what would work best!

Answer: Implant approach From the submitted photo it appears you would have a better result if you had a lift with the augmentation. This would allow your surgeon to address shape and nipple position. With augmentation alone you will have a larger version of your current look.
