How will location of nipples change as implants drop?

May 1, 2023
Asked By:NoShameInBeingVain in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee

Last week, I had my implants replaced (320 to 385; saline to silicone) after the valve failed on one. (My doctor said the previous implants used were 270cc filled to 320; why would a doctor overfill? Is this common?) Anyway, before, my nipples were perfectly centered and while they appear to be even, I feel that they are wider, at a slight angle rather than head on. I understand they are new and will drop. Is it likely that as they do, my nipples will find their way to straight ahead?
