Expanders making breasts farther apart (photo)

Question

Hi, I had a preventative double mastectomy. I have had all my fills, and am waiting for my exchange surgery. As I have gotten my fills my right nipple has moved further down and become less symmetric. I also feel like the space between my breasts has gotten larger. Ideally I would like my breasts to be closer together ,.Are these things that can be fixed at the exchange surgery? Also I have the option of more fills, does the size I am now look proportional to my body.

Although I cant see your preop photos posted, you appear to have a very nice outcome. The nipple/areola positioning was likely asymmetric preop as the position of your expanders look good. As far as cleavage goes, that has a lot to do with anatomy and how things are preoperatively. The nipple/areola position can slightly be adjusted during the second stage surgery, but it will not come up significantly. Size is a personal preference and I would go off of what looks good to you.

Overall you have a very nice aesthetic outcome, I would commend your surgeon on job well done.
