Why is my reconstructed breast smaller and higher? Why is my reconstructed nipple flat and the natural one isn't?

My reconstructed breast seems to be to quit a bit smaller than my natural right breast. I've had 6 surgeries done on this reconstruction sizes and types of implants were not talked about to much. The natural breast fills up my bra, but my reconstructed breast doesn't after a fat grafting. The reconstructed nipple is flat on my left breast, but is higher on my natural breast.
