Schedule a breast check up.
You may need a revision to relieve the tightness and pulling. Schedule an appointment to talk about options with your PS.

Nipple position can be corrected with breast augmentation surgery.
The position of your nipples can be changed with revision surgery. If the position is actively changing then you may be experiencing capsular contracture or pocket migration. This needs to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon to diagnose it and then give the proper treatment.
Position of the nipples can be corrected as long as the cause of the malpositioning is diagnosed and treated correctly.

Nipples Pulling Inward
