3 Weeks Post Op - Nipples Too High? Bottoming Out? Size Concern? (photo)

Hello! I am 3 weeks post op and just want to make sure I am healing normally. My nipples feel extremely high and uneven especially when I lay down. Is this normal and is it going to change? Also, can i expect any increase in size once they settle as I feel I have gone too small. I have 375 cc high profile unders, my surgeon said this was the biggest he could fit. Could he have gone bigger? And are they going to even in size? I put before and afters. Thankyou so much for your help!!!
