I’m 5 days post op and underwent a 350cc gummy bear implant with breast lift. I was really expecting my nipples to be much higher and central on the chest, but they aren’t much higher from where I started from. Will my nipples rise and become more central as my implants drop? Any advice is appreciated!

Answer: Nipple position You are only 5 days out so things will change over the next several months. That being said, I do not see your incisions from your mastopexy. Based on your photos, your NAC's (nipple areola complex) are quite low and the diameter of your areolae are quite large (this typically gets reduced during a mastopexy). A mastopexy (either circumareolar vs circumvertical) will place the NAC's t thge appropriate position at the central and high point of your breast. Speak with your plastic surgeon about what was actually done and what expectations will be for the position of your NAC's.

Answer: Are my nipples low? It would be useful to see your pre-operative photos and have your measurements but on the picture your have shown, it looks like a lift may have been necessary along with your implants.
