Girlfriend's nipples smaller after breast augmentation? - Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Message Board

Hi everyone, I had a question.

My girlfriend recently had some liposuction done and had some of the fatty tissue put into her breasts to bring her from barely an A to a C (Late october, to be exact)

The doctor cut around the aereola to do this, and then just put it back in place with tape around it for a couple weeks to hold everything in place while it healed back up.

I've noticed something odd since the surgery- her nipples are smaller when they are erect. Prior to surgery, they were about as big around as my pinky and somewhere around 1/2" to 3/4" long when erect (she had large nipples). Now, they are the same diameter but probably half the length. Is that normal?

I find it interesting that the doctor did a fat transfer with apparently no implant . The results for that procedure are spotty and inconclusive. Nevertheless, she may have developed scar tissue around the nipples, which is keeping them constricted.

He did what was called a "spiral flap"...ok, there was some lifting done too, but that's what he used...tissue, with no implant.

But, thanks for the info, that may be it.
