Why Are my Nipples Facing Different Directions?

March 13, 2011
Asked By:Santa Ana6494 in Santa Ana, CA

I had a TUBA 4 days ago. When the wrapping was taken off two days ago, it was very apparent that my right nipple is facing down and my left nipple looked normal and was facing forward. When I mentioned it to the Dr he said he noticed it during the surgery, but that it should even out. My right breast also sits a lot higher than the left; and the right is flat on the side, while the left is rounded out. It does not seem to be straightening out yet. Is this normal/common? I am very nervous
