Nipples too high after breast reduction and lift? (Photo)

August 12, 2024
Asked By:cori_cakes23 in Wilmington, North Carolina

October 2023 I had a breast reduction with a lift. It is now August 2024 and I have heard from my husband, friends and the bustmob community that my nipples are too high and my breasts are still substantial. I was looking forward to enjoying my body during the summer but every time I wore a swimsuit, my husband would say “babe, your nipples are showing”. So, I am sharing my before and after photo because I would like surgeons perspective.
