Nipples too high after breast reduction, can this be corrected? (photo)

Jessie with the DDD's
Hello, I had a breast reduction 7.5 months ago, I'm pleased, however my nipples are too high, I want to know what risks are involved with having them lowered a bit, as well as how invasive the procedure for this would be. It's something I could live with, but it's uncomfortable and if I wear certain bras or shirts my nipples peek out the top. I also want to have a little more breast tissue removed. I contacted my Dr. about it and he said he would tighten the lower aspect and remove more tissue.
