In most cases, these two procedures can be performed together. However, if you require an aggressive breast lift, it is advisable to delay the correction of the inverted nipple to prioritize the circulation to the nipple. Nipple necrosis is a serious concern that should be avoided.

Combining a breast lift with nipple eversion can be done in the same surgical session, but there may be some additional risks to the circulation of the nipple and areola. It is important to consider the extent of breast tissue reduction being performed, as this can impact the likelihood of circulatory stress to the nipple-areolar complex. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon will provide a better understanding of the potential risks and benefits of combining these procedures.
