Are my expanders placed too far apart? (photos)

mamaea
I had a bi-lateral skin and nipple sparing mastectomy in December with immediate expander placement. I have had 3 "fills" totaling 175 cc of saline so far. My breasts were originally a bra size of 34b. After the second "fill", I noticed how extremely far apart they are, and that they seem to be coming out of my armpits. Very very unhappy so far. Is this normal placement or have they been placed too far apart?
