When is the right time to initiate planning a revision? (Photo)

Asked By:Plucky886228 in Austin, Texas

I am 6 months post-op. Since the day of surgery(620CC) it was noticeable that the right breast was higher and differently shaped than the left. The left implant shaped and settled, I was told the right needed more time. The incision scar is higher and there’s more volume on top than the side and bottom of the left implant. I’m worried more time will increase appearance of ptosis on the right. Was my right pocket sewn too high?
