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: 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!

Answer: Some things will resolve, some will not. All women have asymmetries so a small degree of difference is likely. You do have some differences between your breasts now, as you did preoperatively. At this point, 2 weeks out, I think you need to wait and see. I don't see anything that doesn't look "normal" for this point in your recovery, but waiting is the key. Good luck.
