Thank you for your question and photos.It looks like from your photos that an element of the nipple is being pulled down which needs to be looked into. Please refer to your surgeon with regards to this. This area may require massaging an additional incision to release the 'puckered' effect pulling your nipple down. Feel free to consult with the certified board of plastic surgeons for extra advice and guidance.Good luck.

Thanks for the question and the photograph.I would suggest you see your surgeon again. It looks like there is some puckering of the nipple which may resolve with simple massaging but might need a slight surgical revision. The best thing to do is to see your surgeon so he/she can examine it and advise accordingly.BWRohit SethPlastic, reconstructive, aesthetic and hair transplant surgery
