Will my nipple placement change after breast reduction? (photo)

Asked By:bellaluna123 in Miami, Florida, Estados Unidos

I had asymmetrical breasts so I had a breast reduction on just the bigger side. The nipple of the breast that was worked on is a lot higher. I read another post of someone who had a nipple placement that was too high after a breast reduction and the comments from surgeons said it usually stays that way. My surgeon told me breasts drop after breast reduction but does that not apply to the nipple? I’m two weeks out of surgery but now I’m worried I made a mistake. I just want to look normal :(
