Am I having nipple complications after my breast lift (1 1/2 years post op)? (Photos)

Asked By:Alexandraj28 in Skokie, Illinois

I had a breast lift / no implant, with mesh about a year and a half ago. I'm noticing of my nipple is starting to look off. I don't even know exactly how to describe it but I feel like part of my nipple is changing texture / losing color?? I'll add photos. I asked the surgeons office and his NP told me this is normal and happens some times when the breast is stretched. I'm a little freaked out. Can someone explain what this is and if there's anything I need to do?
