Overlay looks more like oval than circle

Hello,

The following code I use to put a circle around a point on the map that is x miles away from the point. The result is a graphic that looks more like an oval than a circle. Why is that or am I doing something wrong?

public function highlightStoresArea(x:Number, y:Number, radius:Number):void
{
   var myMapCenterPoint:Graphic = new Graphic();
   myMapCenterPoint.geometry = new MapPoint(x, y, new SpatialReference(4326));
   var bufferParameters:BufferParameters = new BufferParameters();
   bufferParameters.features = [myMapCenterPoint];
   bufferParameters.distances = [radius];
   bufferParameters.unit = BufferParameters.UNIT_STATUTE_MILE;
   bufferParameters.bufferSpatialReference = new SpatialReference(4326);
   myGeometryService.buffer(bufferParameters);
}

private function bufferCompleteHandler(event:GeometryServiceEvent):void
{
   myGraphicsLocationsLayer.add(event.graphics[0]);
}
