Going Back To Original Surgeon For a Revision. What Questions to Ask?

I had augmentation four months ago. One of them is considerably lower than other and slides around in the pocket. I am going back to original surgeon ,and I am wondering questions to ask.

Any suggestions as to what verbage to use when I go for next appt?
