What Size Should my Nipples Be if I Am Estimated to Be a C Cup After Breast Lift?

Hi there-

I would discuss this with your surgeon before surgery, as there is some "wiggle room" with regard to the diameter of your aureolas after surgery. This is going to be a matter of personal preference (yours)- there is no commonly agreed on number at which all areolas will look best.

Thank you for this excellent question.  I have always used a 35 - 38 mm cookie cutter for C cup breasts.  One of your earlier responders, Jay Burns M.D. of Dallas, Texas, makes an excellent point about an even smaller post op areolar diameter.  Since you consider 35 mm small, I probably wouldn't go any smaller if I were you. 

 

Two things to remember.  One, this is your body and you have a choice.  Two, don't forget they all stretch out a little bit post surgery.
