Implant riding high
Whenever an implants is placed for reconstruction, there always needs to be some time for breast implant stabilization and soft tissue relaxation. Give it some time.

Talk to your plastic surgeon...
You should consult with your plastic surgeon. He is your best friend in this situation and can advise you with the most personal information. It could be attributed to many things and should settle in time. As you know, breast reconstruction is a journey and can take several procedures and time.

Post-mastectomy reconstruction
While I do not have the advantage of seeing your anatomy, two weeks is much too soon to be judging results. Certainly voice your concerns to your surgeon but be patient. Breast reconstruction is a series of procedures over time and revisions are the norm.
