Puffy Nipples after lift

[D-Blizzy]

Hi there. I had surgery 8 weeks ago with a relocation of my nipples. One of my breasts was tuberous (slightly). Overall, my breasts look great now and I'm very pleased, except for my nipples are still so puffy. They look kinda like a nipple colored Hershey's kiss sitting on my breast, not flush with the breast. And, puffy! I know I need to be patient, but I'm starting to freak out a little. Anyone have this problem?

Thank you!!!

I had breast augmentation/reconstruction of tuberous breast and noticed the same thing. My incisions were all the way around the nipple and after surgery they were both a little puffy but the left side was extremely puffy. It has been almost 2 months and they both look significantly better but I do think given how complicated our surgeries were that it takes a long time before they look "normal" again. I noticed that the more they heal they have reduced in size and are laying more flat on my breast. The incisions are healing nicely but I still have no feeling in my left nipple. I do have the same coloration issue you mentioned as well but hopefully with more patience this will all change.
Good Luck and know that you are not alone :-)
Happy Healing!
