I Had Revision Surgery on Both Breasts Due to Left Side Having Capsular Contraction?

my surgeon said the leak was so bad that he removed alot of my breast. I had tear drop replacements and the left has dropped into position well but my right looks so high still?? At first I thought he had used different implants but assured me they are both anatomical. I am 12 weeks po and still wearing sports bra at night. Should I stop wearing thus and allow the right to drop?
