YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD providing expert tips for achieving symmetry and balance in breast augmentation, focused on aligning the nipple–areolar complex (NAC) with the breast fold. Discusses strategies for patients with low-set NACs and gives a practical measurement estimate for breast fold placement (typically 17–20 cm, patient-dependent).

Questions this video answers

Typically between 17 and 20 centimeters, depending on the patient.

If we're taking, for instance, a patient has really low set nipple areolar complex, you want the nipple areolar complex to actually line up to where the breast fold should be. If you can't actually tell where that is because it was arbitrarily lowered during the breast augmentation procedure, you can make measurements and give an estimate, typically between 17 and 20 centimeters depending on the patient.
