My breast look deformed after explant surgery. My nipples are weighed down and caved in. Are these results typical? (photo)

BeccaFang
Decided to explant with capsulectomy. I had three sets of implants within five years before explanting. Last set were 215cc Right after explant procedure, I noticed both breasts looking deformed. My PS said it was because of the drains and when removed, my breasts will look normal. Drains were removed a couple days ago, my breasts still look deformed. I am 4 days post op, and worried that these results are permanent. Are these results normal to have right after an explant procedure
