My nipples look like north and South to me? Will this change, what should I do?

Question

I am currently 8 days post op. I was a 32a and had 325cx high profile implants over the muscle to achieve a a nice C cup . I am happy with the size .. and I am aware breasts drop at difference rates ! What is really worrying me is my nipples ... As my breasts move I swear my nipples seems to be completely unsymmetrical left seems to be going upwards and that's the boob that is dropping faster where the other one seems face on like a normal nipple !

I really try to stress this to people that nipples usually if you look closely before an augment are pointing in a direction and that adding volume will accentuate this for the patient so look at your before pics and I bet it was like that before

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

Thanks for your photo... any asymmetries following an augmentation are usually a result of what was present before as implants only make you larger and fuller.  Your photos don't show any obvious concerns to me about nipple position.  Keep your surgeon informed of your concerns and let your surgeon help you through your recovery, especially with your implant position.  In the end, I am confident you will have a great result.

Robert Whitfield, MD · Answer

There is always some asymmetry because you probably had a small amount of asymmetry to begin with.  to get a more accurate idea I would prefer to see before and after with your arms down.In breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing
photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and
shape.  Many times this simply raises
more questions.  I will make measurements
and use the implant guides to allow the patient to understand exactly the sizes
that are reasonable for their body type and measurements.
