Sensation can play a role in nipple size

After surgery, some people have partial or complete loss of nipple sensation. That nipple may also lose muscle tone making it look smoother and bigger. The sensation and tone may improve for up to two years after surgery, in my experience. So you  have to wait!

Nipple revision

Typically from 5 to 7 cm is acceptable from the bottom of the areola to the fold.  you like like you are between 5'6" to 5'9" and somewhere between 110 and 130.  You left implant is high and both implants in my view of aesthetics are wider than necessary for your chest.  I have done many revisions and removing those devices and placing smaller device will help.  The skin can be adjusted in the fold with horizontal skin excision.  At that point... more

Nipples too high?

The angle of your photo might be making things look worse than reality but at least from the pic it appears that both nipples are too high and that they are not even.  A more true straight front on photo might be more revealing but if I am correct, this is very hard too correct.  Raising nipples is much easier than lowering them.
