My nipples are flat and high after a breast lift. Will they still have the capability to become erect?

I had a breast lift, no implant. I'm guessing they may still have some swelling. But, I have a little concern with my nipples. They seem really flat. Like they were pulled taut. And the nipples were not reduced. They seem a bit high as well. I'm wondering if they will have the capability to become erect? Like they did before the surgery. I had an anchor lift. I'm sorry, without a picture this maybe difficult to give an opinion on. Thank you in advance.
