Right breast has not dropped like left one. Is it because I'm right handed?

Asked By:Mmm1482 in Ashburn, VA

My right breast has not dropped as much as the left one has. I had 400cc saline in the left and 425cc saline in the right to correct asymmetry. I'm 1 month post op. Left breast looks great, right one is still rather high. I have a band that I wear. I am right handed and was told that my pec (?) muscles were rather strong. Is this what is causing my right breast to not drop as quickly as the left?
