Corrected my Stargazing Nipples

I had a small breast reduction (more like a lift) in 2003 by another plastic surgeon, which resulted in stargazing nipples. Lowering the nipples is difficult to correct. Dr. Nimtz was able to lower them into a normal position. He performed ‘breast lift incisions at IMF’ in 2019 and nipple reshaping in 2020. I am so happy. I never thought my breasts would look so natural.

Your revision looks amazing! I have been wondering about nipple placement. It seems like a lot of docs make them stargazing. Or perhaps it is not intentional?

Thanks! I had no idea what stargazing nipples were when I had my original surgery in 2003. I’m not sure why some surgeons take this ‘artistic approach’ but if I knew this was a possible outcome before my surgery, I would have spoken up on where I’d like my nipples to be.

Hi I’m having the same issue. How much was your surgery all together if you dont mind me asking?

IMF scars 20 months old

Wanted to add a photo of how my scars look after Dr. Nimtz performed breast lift at IMF 8/2019. Little redness remaining at cleavage. Used paper tape for first few months + silicone scar sheet strips for majority of time post-op.
Had a prior consultation, maybe 10 years ago, with suggestion to cut/ have scars above nipple as a solution. Very happy I waited and Dr. Nimtz was able to improve my scars from 2003 thru lift at IMF.
Local anesthesia. I was in and out in a few hours. Little pain. Did not need a driver. Amazing!
