I've always had small breasts and will be getting a breast augmentation in the next couple of months. I understand that some doctors will remove the nipple and reattach it. I like the size and shape of my nipple. But I've seen some "after" pictures and the areola looks stretched on some patients. Thoughts?
Answer: Different Techniques Don’t Involve the Nipple There are very few absolutes in cosmetic surgery, so it's not accurate to say surgeons "always" do something. In fact, the most popular breast augmentation incision, the inframammary incision, doesn't involve the nipple or areola at all. This is one reason it's so popular. If you're satisfied with the appearance of your nipples, there's likely no need to manipulate them during surgery.

Answer: No, usually not No. Actually, during a standard breast augmentation we do not detach the nipple or areola. The only circumstance in which this occurs is when we perform a breast reduction or breast lift, and only in extreme cases. In your case, this probably wouldn't be necessary, but it is best to discuss this with your surgeon prior to your surgery.

Answer: Nipples are not removed during Breast Augmentation Hi. Your nipples will not removed and replaced during your breast augmentation. Your areola will be stretched a little since the implants will stretch all of your breast skin, but usually it is not too much of a change. I think you will have a nice result with your augmentation, but if you are still concerned, then talk to your PS about these concerns. That way, he/she can address them with you before you have your surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast augmentation The nipple is not removed during a breast augmentation. Some surgeons insert the implants through an incision along the lower half of the areola, but there are certainly other options. A common insertion site is in the lower fold of the breast. I recommend that you speak with your surgeon about your concerns to ensure that you both are in agreement where the incisions will be placed.
