Is this lateral displacement? Do I need revision? Please help (Photo)

I just recently had breast augmentation 5/20/22. I will be 5 weeks post op on Friday 6/24/22. I went from having practically no breast and a large space between to 400cc. I’ve noticed my right breast to be closer to my armpit than my left breast. During the initial recovery the side of my breast under the arm was very swollen and numb but also painful, more so than that of the left breast. Is this lateral displacement or over dissection? And will I need revision?

You will need a breast lift. Depending on how the implants were placed, you may benefit from a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your question. Judging from the photos you sent, the current condition does not appear to be very serious, so it would be better to massage the raised implant down for up to one year after the last surgery and wait while taking a medicine that can soften the capsula. Revision...
