Asked By:sky1ark in Holly Springs, MS

I am obese. In the last year I gained more pounds and my breast change more. I believe they got bigger. However the nipple position is concerning me. My breasts hang down with the left nipple pointing down and a bit to the right. My right breast is the same however the skin and what makes up the breast seems to be more on the right side and the nipple is against my stomach. Its like the skin underneath didn't grow with the breast. Should I be worried something is wrong?
