Does size/profile of implant affect vertical nipple placement post augmentation once completely dropped and fluffed? (Photo)

March 19, 2024
Asked By:KayPg in Iowa, IA

I am 5'6", 115lbs, 32yo, breast fed 2 babies, and starting at a deflated 30A. I am planning on getting 500cc UTM silicone HP implants. I do not need a lift, but am worried about nipples being too low as a result of too much "upper boob" above the nip and not enough lower pole to elevate it up.With HP, will that be an issue, or should I expect my nips to rise to an elevated position once fully healed?I have seen some HP results have little lower pole and unsure what causes it?
