How long after breast surgery will my nipples return to normal?

Question: I’m a week past my breast lift and my nipples look like pieces of pepperoni slices sewed on my breasts. When with they look normal again and like a natural part of my breasts?

Answer: Wow – I have never heard of them described like that – but you are right! That is exactly what it looks like at first! Don’t worry, though: they will become more subtle with time (months). This is normal after a breast lift surgery.
