Double bubble/ pocket too large? Is there a way to fix this besides revision surgery? (Photo)

Ttrinh793Jul 8, 2022
Hi, I’m about 2.5 months post op. I started noticing my R breast having an odd lining at the base at 2 weeks. This side also dropped around 10 days post op compare to the other one. When I lay flat, it tends to go more laterally than the L as well. Is there another way to fix this besides revision surgery? If not then how soon can I get it repaired?

Your limited photos actually show a good result. I would go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns. Scar products can be helpful for your scars.
