I recently had breast lift and implants (200 cc, 1 cup size bigger, age 26 no kids) 2 weeks ago, and my nipples look like something out of a child's coloring book. They're completely uneven, choppy, and not at all near perfectly circular. Will these eventually fix themselves? I also thought the breasts would be higher. Does this look like a well executed lift?
Answer: Yes, you are uneven. But you are far from seeing your FINAL result. Like most of my colleagues, I am going to ask you to relax and let things heal before rendering final judgement on your plastic surgeon's work. Your mastopexy augmentation looks very well done, by the way.'

Answer: Uneven nipples after surgery Your photos look normal for this stage of recovery. It will take 4-6 months to see the final results of your surgery. Some nipple asymmetry is common after breast lift surgery. After six months, if the asymmetry persists, a minor revisional procedure can be performed. Again, I would advise you to be patient and give yourself the proper amount of time to heal.

Answer: Uneven nipples This is a good question. Usually over time after the implant settles and the scars heal you will have a better idea of the final result. Swelling will go down after the surgery and be a better picture of what to expect for the long term.

Answer: Give it time Your results look great for 2 weeks. It is not natural to have "perfectly circular" areolas, and very difficult to achieve that surgically, especially with the amount of lift and size implant that was used. Give it time and allow your tissues to adjust to the implant. Time fixes a lot!!

Answer: BA results Dear ajonesca,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Uneven Nipples After Breast Augmentation and Lift It's too early to know at this point. It takes a good 3 months for things to settle and the swelling to resolve enough to get a real sense of what your final results will look like. If you are really concerned then book a follow up with your surgeon so they can reassure you, but based on the photos you are showing this looks like a good result for 2 weeks out. There may be a touch of asymmetry between the levels of the areolas, but that may be due to differential swelling this early on. Its best to be patient and wait for your final results before worrying whether the work done was substandard. Best of luck!
