Unhappy with Breast Reduction
I had a breast reduction close to a year ago. I am happy with the size but my nipples are way too high. I am unhappy with that and excessive scarring. Can the nipples be moved again and is it another major surgery?
I agree with Dr Markmann.
A cuff of skin and maybe some underlying breast tissue can be removed ( even under local anesthesia ) incorporating part or all of the horizontal scar (revising it) The final distance between the 6 o clock position of your areolar and the horizontal scar should be about 6 -7 centimeters.
Bottoming out is the more likely culprit and as the others have said a transverse excision (plication) can shorten the lower pole length and at the same time pull the Areola down. It’s done frequently and usually in the office under local
It's very tough to move your nipples down. But, often the problem is not that your nipples are too high, it may be that there was too much tissue left in the lower part of your breast. It's impossible to know for sure without seeing you in person or pictures. But, I would expect this to be something that can be made better for you .
