4 months post op. I'm wondering if my implants are supposed to sit like this? I know to expect some asymmetry. But this much? The one that is lower almost feels "saggy" and the lower pole isn't rounded like the higher one is. I'm in need of your opinion on this one. I had nipple asymmetry to begin with and thats why my surgeon said he placed one implant lower. Do you think my results are acceptable? I'm considering removing them as it's bothering me..
