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

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

It is not unusual for the breasts to look very strange right after surgery.  It takes at least three months for everything to stop changing and settle into position.  The breasts often appear to have too much upper pole fullness at first.  Over time, the tissue should relax and allow the implant to stretch out the lower aspect of the breast.  As this happens, you should have more volume in the lower pole of the breast and the nipples will not point down nearly as much.  I hope this helps.

Thanks for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery!  Yes, at this point and this early in the recovery, for your nipples to appear to be pointing downward is normal.  Your implants are still sitting very high and over the next several weeks to several months, they will settle into their final position, and your nipples will be more centered on your breast mound.  Good luck!
