A breast lift surgery corrects breast sagging that occurs due to age, pregnancy, or other factors. As part of the surgery, the nipple is moved up the breast. This can be achieved in different ways depending on what is necessary to adequately address the sagging. So, let’s look into the question, “Why do my nipples look different after a breast lift?”One of the reasons the nipples can look different following a breast lift is because the free nipple graft technique was used. In this case, the nipple and areola are actually removed and stitched higher on the breast after the lift is finished. During this process, the areola is sometimes reshaped or resized to fit the new breast or at the patient’s request.Other times, the nipple is not detached from the breast, but moved up during the process. Though, this may still involve an incision around the areola which can cause some minor scarring around the nipple and areola which may make it look different, but this is often temporary.To learn more and schedule a consultation, call us at 941-923-1736.
