Do I really need a free nipple graph . I’m trying avoid it as much as possible.
Answer: Free nipple Thank you for your question. As a guideline, patients who have over 20 cm from the inframmary fold to the nipple are a candidate for the free nipple graft. If you wonder whether or not a nipple graft is necessary it probably is a good idea to get a consultation with an experienced surgeon

Answer: Reduction You should be able to have a breast reduction without a free nipple graft. It's important that your surgeon understands what you are hoping to accomplish from surgery so that appropriate benefits and risks can be discussed. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Difficult to Tell It is difficult to tell from the pictures. Generally speaking, a free nipple graft is only necessary if the distance from the underside of the breast (the inframammary fold) to the nipple is 20cm or greater. Your surgeon should measure this preoperatively and let you know what your options are. From the pictures, it does not appear that you would need a free nipple graft, however only an in person physical exam and measurements would be able to tell.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. The nipples do not need to be grafted.
