Breast reduction: Nipples dropping lower. Is this likely to change?

June 1, 2016
Asked By:Dessy26 in San Clemente, CA

I'm 2 weeks 2 days post op now. My nipples seem to be getting LOWER as time goes on! Is this likely to change as they drop? They seem to be getting wider in shape and my nipples are almost on the lower breast curve! I know it's early, but I'm panicking! Is really appreciate some professional advice! My surgeon is amazing and I trust him completely when he says they will drop and the nipples will look better, but I feel bad to keep hassling him with panicky questions!
