What is the cause of low nipples after breast augmentation - "Waterfall Effect" also known as "Snoopy Deformity"? (photos)

Adventurous4058
I am presently a 32A 10cm diameter 5'4" 125 lbs petite. Biggest concern: "Snoopy Deformity." I have tight skin and no sagging. A friend got hers done and her nipples are very low. *Was it her surgeon, implant size or natural anatomy that caused this to happen?* 1) The implant is too big and it fills more at the top than the bottom 2) length from nipple to breast fold was just short to begin with 3) The muscle is not loosened enough when inserting through a TA incision Thanks in advance :)
