Uneven pain and uncentered nipple, post breast reduction, is this normal or should I be concerned?

Asked By:samtay1990 in New London, CT

I am 9 days post op (BR), and I have almost no pain in my right side but some shooting pains & an achey feeling in my left side. Is this something to be concerned about? My surgeon also mentioned that I should keep centering my nipples by pulling my breast gently inside my bra and making sure they’re central. I have noticed that my left nipple is slightly off centre which I assume is why she’s told me to do this. Is this normal? And is it actually possible for the nipple to change position now?
