450cc, nipple has stretched & moved to the side of breasts after donut mastopexy & implants (Photos)

Eclectic67384
When I first got my surgery done my nipple size was even and perfect but now I am almost two years post op and my nipple has expanded and is uneve,My left nipple is still numb and my right has a bit of feeling. Could my nipple have stretched from the implant size? (I am underweight and the surgeon did say the implant I choose might be a bit to big 450cc) or could it be the dissolvable stitches he used? Is there a risk that my nipples might restretch after revision with permanent sutures?
