this doctor answered my question and filled me with hope and positive thoughts.
I recently saw my PS and he mentioned that I may need a lift, which made me pretty upset. After all I went through this was the last thing I was expecting to hear. I don't have the money nor the time(with 4 kids and school year just starting). He doesn't think my nipples will change much but he will give me an evaluation in December which it will be about 6 months post op for me. Needless to say this possibility of things looking bad even after my implants sets into place made me sad. I love this site because I posted a question here and a doctor answered making me hopeful. Even if is not the case for me I feel It is important to hear a second opinion, specially the ones that help you be positive in this journey. This is what she wrote and makes a lot of sense to me and i'd like to share with you now.********
Six weeks is not enough time to tell what your final result will be after your augmentation. Your implants will still drop more over the next 4-6 weeks. When this happens it will give the appearance that your nipple is higher on the breast mound. In my experience this is usually 1-2 centimeters. At that time you can decide if you are happy or if you want the nipple even higher. If so then you would need a lift. A crescent mastopexy works well for women who do not have a lot of excess skin but their nipple is too low. This method can safely move the nipple areola complex about 2 cm. There is a risk of causing the areola to change shape along the upper margin where the incision is placed. The lollipop scar would be needed if excess skin were to be removed or the areola were to be moved more than a few centimeters. Try to be patient because it isn't really safe to do anything surgical to your breasts so soon after your augmentation. I agree with your PS that 6 months is a great time to re-evaluate and decide what if anything needs to be done to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Provider Review
If I am not mistaking my doctor has about 25 years of experience. He is very confident really and is extremely patient. I haven't done my procedure yet but I found him through a friend of mine who had done her BA with Dr. Price and she also loves him, she showed me her results and she looks GORGEOUS!i
