OKAY so i am 8 weeks and 2 days post OP.. Overall I am happy with my results. I know I still have a long way to go in terms of healing. But A question to those who have gone through the healing process. Will my left nipple eventually pop out? My right is fine however my left nipple went inverted approximately 3-4 weeks post op. I do have more swelling in my left breast, can someone please comment on their experience? Did it go away? or Am i pretty much left with one inverted nipple, it's kind of worrying me. I do Plan on calling my surgeon sometime soon.. It's just he's 5-6 hours away, And I don't plan on taking the trip anytime soon. SO PLEASE GUYS ANY HELP! WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Thanks!

i had the same problem, and it has never gone away. Now i need to get surgery again if i want it corrected. Im going to ask the surgeon
to fill in my left breast some with body fat from another area of my body and to make my left breast match my right one. I suggest that you do this too. It will take surgery to correct.

Re inverted nipple

It may be that there is scarring going on, which is pulling the nipple inwards.  Would advise a trip to your surgeon to see what can be done with it.  He did the surgery and knows what was done and is best qualified to deal with the problem.
