First of all, the best thing to do is to wait for at least 6 months to see what will be nearly your final result. . If your breasts look Bottomed Out now (ie: long distance from your nipple to crease), you will definitely need to have a revision surgery. But, it's best to allow for more settling before you proceed with correction! I have to admit, I'm not at all a fan of the Vertical Reduction or Lift Technique, ie: the Lolly Pop Scar!. I have seen way too many patients who have had this procedure that come to me afterwards to have a revision to correct bottoming out. I'm just not a fan! The crease scar adds a totally different vector of tightening and lifting that you don't get from the vertical lift technique.
When you have "high Nipples", It may not be that your nipples are really too high. they may just appear too high because there is too much volume inferiorly. The best way to correct this is to push all that breast tissue up, giving you a more full, perky breast and making it so that your nipples will fit into your bra and Bikini again!
