Tags: double bubble, timing

I had breast augmentation 5 days ago and 2 days ago started noticing the my left looks different than my right at the bottom. The right one sits where it should whereas with the left one i can actually feel the bottom of the implant in the crease.

Thanks so much for all answers.
