Nipples are pointed downward. Is this normal? (Photos)

This is a common concern of patients that are early in the healing process.  The implants appear high early in recovery and usually settle over time.  The settling can happen as early as 6 weeks and sometimes even longer.  Follow your Plastic surgeons post operative instructions.  Good luck.

Hello,Directly post op, your tight, swollen breast tissue will compress and displace the implants up and outward. As well, swollen pectoral muscles can further contribute to the high, boxy look of post op breasts with nipples too low on the breast mound. As swelling subsides the implants will drop & fluff. This can take between 2-6 months and involves volume moving from the upper pole into mid & lower breast. This will cause the nipples to appear to sit higher eventually. I recommend that you follow your Plastic Surgeon's post op advice. Let them know if you have any concerns and try to wait until closer to 6 months before evaluating your results,All the  best

right after surgery nipples may point in directions that ultimately will change.  This happens as the implant which is initially very high drops into the pocket and the nipple rotates upward on the implant.  For now the best treatment is time and follow the instructions given by your PS.  Good luck!
