Part of Nipple Missing After Augmentation

dodgegal
I had an augmentation and lift done at the same time just over a year ago. The results are ok except I think a bit of "bottoming out" has occurred. The worst thing is that part of the bottom half of my right nipple is missing! It was like that right after the surgery and I was in tears about it but the doctor told me to keep coming back every few months to see if it would repair itself. It still looks weird and I can't get a straight answer from him. Why did this happen?
