Do I need a nipple lift? (Photo)

J

I had gyno surgery and some lipo to even out my chest. I'm overall happy but I feel like my nipples droop and there is some unevenness in some areas and the middle section needs to be filled but I'm not sure. I just want my chest even. I workout a lot and have a great upper chest but the bottom just doesn't look great. I wish my nipples were lifted. Do I need a lift or maybe lipo reshaping ? I know a consultation is best but from pics you I'm sure a good Dr can tell what I need.

It appears your nipple-areola complexes are too high. Photographs without clothes or a bra on would be more helpful. You may need revision but without other photographs I cannot give you an accurate answer. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hi there, this is stage one inverted nipples, the mid line split is often present. Most likely there are some scar bands that represent blocked milk ducts. Unfortunately it is impossible to know whether you will be able to breast feed but there is a chance you might. Best wishes
