8 weeks post-op and my left breast implant (right in picture) is still high compared to my right. Should I be concerned? (photo)

Asked By:bossbabe87 in Austin, TX

My right one is positioned just fine while the left implant is clearly much higher and you can see and feel my natural breast tissue pushed to the bottom. Is this normal and just a result of lefty taking longer to heal or should I be concerned about capsular contracture? I do not have any pain not is one noticeably harder than the other.
