Are my implants positioned properly or are they too far apart? (Photos)

Asked By:rachel.sullivan

I suppose I'm not sure what I expected, but maybe I'm just looking for some reassurance. Based on my pre-op pictures, does it look like my implants are positioned properly or are they too far apart?

Would it be possible to move and center my nipples with silicone implants? (Photos)
Leila Kasrai, MD, FRCSC says:

Implants must be centred behind the areolae/nipples. This prevents the nipples pointing overly outward or inward, which would look unnatural.
