Only One Breast Has Dropped a Year After Augmentation

It's been a year since I had my breasts done, but now I have noticed that my right breast dropped but the left one hasn't. During the first months I couldn't tell there was any difference, I'm right handed and drive a manual transmission car (stick) which is hard. I exercise regularly and this involveds weights, cardio and resistance. Is this normal? I was reading other questions where you talk about 6 months after. I'm worried. I really need your help and wisdom. Thank you!

Breast implants uneven drop

Only one breast has dropped a year after augmentation

Thanks for the photo. You need a left inframammary revision to release the scar capsule in the inferior position or maybe the original pocket on the left side was not dissected completely. Either way you need a revision NOW!. Sorry from MIAMI DR. B

Uneven breast implants

I agree with Dr. Rand's comments. To some degree, you must decide which breast you prefer. If you prefer the right, then you must lower the left and if you prefer the left than you must raise the right, The latter is a more diffcult procedure.

Bottomed out implants

From your photo you have large implants which are heavier and more prone to bottoming out. The fact that this wasn't the case in the beginning means that this is not your doctor's fault, just how your body healed. Your chest activity may have contributed to this. It can be repaired but it is not that easy and requires another operation and costs to you.
