Large implants in a small frame and thin skin can result in increased chance of problems. There is very little breast tissue to hide any position imbalances. Enlarging the pocket of skin and muscle around the left implant will help. Waiting another few months if you can is ideal. It is always easier and more safe to operate in a fully-healed area without inflammation. Best of luck in your healing. Unfortunately some asymmetry and revision surgery risk is a part of the... more

At six weeks post op, you could try wearing a stabilizer band and do implant displacement exercises if the implants are smooth. If it does not improve after several months, you could have your surgeon to an inferior capsulectomy to lower the implant, remove some of the capsule and soften it. Changing to smaller... more
