I just had breast lift on Friday.  I took off bandages today and my nipples seem  recessed.  I currently have sensation in them but they look really sunken.  Is this normal?  I would like someone who has had the procedure to also take a look at some of my pictures and tell me what they think my cup size will end up being.  Im not sure how to download pictures on here without everyone seeing them. Can someone please help me. I feel sick to my stomach about all of this!  Im afraid I will look like mutant!     thanks Sharon

Mine were really flat looking.  Actually the whole new areola and nipple thing freaked me out. They were much higher than I expected. He definately trimmed them down.  I asked for a full C but I look larger than that.  I have no feeling at all in the nipples.  I noticed the last couple of days they are changing.   I had a lift, saline implants and lipo to the sides of my breasts.  My breasts feel very weird when I'm up walking around with no bra on.  That may be from the implants though.  The doctor said I don't need to wear a bra all the time or a super support type bra now.  I'll tell you that I need to have something on even if it is a support cami.  I definately think they are 500% better than they looked before.  I went to my high school reunion yesterday in a strapless dress and I felt they looked excellent.  I'm looking forward to the day I can walk around again and not notice the discomfort.
I'm sure they will look different after they are healed.

Mine do not look sunken. I have pics on my profile. Password is abc123. I love that they are "normal" in size now and the incisions are looking better now, too (a month out). My surgeon thinks mine will be between a b and c cup. I haven't gone bra shopping yet.

I'm sure you will look fine. Try to relax and focus on your healing!!

Mine are smaller but not sunken.  But they have changed a lot over two months.  My cup size didn't change at all!

Hi.  I had a breast lift last October and it took several months for the swelling to go away.  I wear the same size bra now and I did before the surgery but one of the best things I did recently was to go and have a professional bra fitting.  No problem with my nipples - look and feel the same as before.  Good luck.
