Although not very common, projected nipples are a concern for some of my Orange County plastic surgery patients.
This is especially a concern for male patients. One of my patients was very concerned about his nipples showing through all his shirts and had to wear very thick fabric clothing, even in the summer. Needless to say, this caused him a lot of grief, especially in social situations.
For women, the projection is also a problem, as the nipple is noticeable through most clothing. The nipple also hangs down due to its size, taking away from the visual attractiveness of the breast.
Fortunately, there is a solution. The nipple projection can be corrected with a simple procedure which can be done in the office under local anesthesia. In majority of patients, the nipple sensation remains unchanged.
I have enclosed before and after photos to demonstrate the effectiveness of this procedure.

BREAST FEEDING AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION
“Can I breast feed after having breast surgery?” This is a question asked by many of my Orange County patients seeking breast augmentation.
This is a difficult question to answer. If you have never had children, there is no way to determine if you are able to breast feed in the first place.
If you have had children and produced a lot of milk, then there is a chance you will be able to breast feed after surgery, although the amount may be significantly less. If you had little or no milk, breast surgery will NOT increase the amount of milk production.
In patients who have not had children and do not require a breast lift, I prefer to make my incision under the breast fold (inframmamary fold). First, the incision is hidden from frontal view, and can only be seen if one looks underneath the breast. Second, by approaching the pectoralis muscle through this incision, I am avoiding the majority of breast tissue. Theoretically, since I am not cutting through breast tissue, the chance of damaging any milk ducts is minimized.
If you are considering breast augmentation and plan to have a child in the near future, and breast feeding is very important to you, my recommendation is to delay your surgery until your breast feeding is completed and your breast shape has stabilized.
