Typicallty Yes: 5 days is not enough time to determine the final appearance or position of your n/a complex. Swelling, sutures, etc. Will gradually resolve over several weeks, and changes will occur on almost daily basis. Be patient, follow your doctor's instructions and permit time for normal healing. This process will actually take many months to complete, but appearance will improve earlier.

Too soon to judge: Although nipples that are too high is not a desirable thing, especially this early. It really is too soon to judge. Talk to your surgeon about your concerns. Swelling can alter the postion of your nipples early on, and I do hope for you that they settle into a proper position. Be patient, but please keep in touch with your surgeon. Be well.

Too Early.: Although your concerns are understandable, it may take several months before you see the final results of the breast surgery performed. Best to continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon for precise answers, advice, and/or reassurance.

Too soon to tell: Typically, as the swelling goes down and the tissue relaxes a bit, you'll see changes in shape and position. Give it 2 -3 months. Speak with your surgeon about your concerns, though. Hang in there.
