They look great. Your breasts are situated low on your chest. This is what some docs call the "breast footprint". When your breast and nipple are low, this isn't a drooping breast, just a low breast footprint. You can have larger and higher profile implants placed in order to get a more augmented look. The symmetry is pretty great and I think your surgeon did a fine job, especially at 2 weeks. The other option is to maximally tighten the skin envelope, which would require scars on the breast and a breast lift, which i really wouldn't recommend.

Hello dear, thanks for your post and provided information as well. 
Patience is one of the most important factors in achieving the best 
results in cosmetic surgery. We all want to see the final result as 
early as possible. Unfortunately, the healing process is complicated and
 takes time. The surest way to get a poor result is to undergo revision 
surgery before your body is ready for additional surgery.Breast 
augmentations take about six months for the swelling to go down and the 
breasts to settle and assume their final size and shape. When we do a 
breast enlargement, surgeons try to center the implant behind the 
nipple. Minor position adjustments can be accomplished to account for 
the normal asymmetry that most women have. If the breasts are different 
sizes, saline implants can be adjusted to achieve better symmetry.Please
 wait until six months post op and then return to your original surgeon.
 Minor asymmetry is normal. Too vigorous surgical approaches may result 
in more expense, more scarring, and new complications.Good luck :)

Implants have to be placed behind the nipple, otherwise if they are placed high the nipples will point down.  A breast lift will give you a better shape.  Implants are just fillers. They take what you have and make it larger.
