Will I need a nipple correction since they slant sideways, or will they be corrected by the implants alone? (photos)

Question

At the moment I want to get saline implants I notice that my nipples and slanted side says, at a few consultations the doctors said I need nipple correction but I don’t think I need it. I think they look that way because my breasts are deflated and once I get the implants they will look fine. I know this because of my last pregnancy when my boobs got big from breast feeding it looked perfect. Can I just not get it against their recommendation? What do you guys think?

Thank you for the question and picture. I am not sure what you mean by "nipple correction" but your nipple/areola complex seems to be centered nicely on the breast mound. It is quite normal for the feminine nipple/areola complex to be pointed out (laterally) to some degree. My best advice: careful selection of plastic surgeon and careful communication of goals.   It may be wise to clarify what your consultants have meant when they have described "nipple correction".  For example make sure that they are not discussing breast lifting surgery. Best wishes for an outcome that you will b every pleased with.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. 
You may be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation surgery.
  
It is important to have an in-person assessment regarding your concerns as it is difficult to determine virtually. 
  
There are many different factors that go into choosing a breast implant size which will correspond with your body dimensions while concurrently achieving your aesthetic results. Some of these factors are: Implant size (CC's), Implant profile (Low, Moderate, High), Placement of the implant (Subglandular vs. Dual Plane) etc. We utilize smooth round cohesive silicone gel 'gummy bear' implants for the best results. 
  
During a consultation your aesthetic goals are heard and taken into account with the measurements of your breasts and the integrity of your tissue, as well as level of ptosis (sag). From here we collectively can find your 'perfect fit'. 
  
You are able to try out sizers and different implants in our office such that you can get an idea of what size you would be post-operation. We also offer Crisalix 3D plastic surgery virtual simulator during our in-person and virtual consultations to preview potential results. After your consultation, you will receive your very own implant sizers to take home with you (at a small cost) whether or not you decide to go forward with your procedure.
  
 I usually recommend that my patients stop smoking, take vitamin C daily, and avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and vitamin E 3 weeks prior to surgery. 
  
I specialize in the 24-hour Recovery method which minimizes trauma to the breast and decreases pain post-operatively.
