I had deflated saline implants (505cc) removed and replaced with 480 cc silicone with a lift . My question is it common to need to have a nipple revision surgery? On my right breast my nipple look pretty good. Underneath that nipple to the right next to the lift scar is a good remaining portion of my original nipple.

Your nipple and Areola look 100% normal and natural. Every woman's areola contract and get bumpy. I would not recommend any treatment for this. It is normal and not the least bit unattractive!
From your photograph, it appears the areola is bigger than the hole made for the areola and that is why it is larger. The areola can simply be reduced under local anesthesia and takes about 15 minutes.

Your nipples can be repositioned to lower the higher one and elevate the lower one. This would involve eccentric circles to make the areolas smaller and can result in a starburst pattern around them.
