So I’m currently 6 months post op and my left side is looking really good but my right side just looks fattt and doesn’t have the same shape as my left one. I am right handed so I figure my right pec is larger but I just feel like there is still plenty of fat that can removed. How likely is this to change over the next 6 months? Is there hope for my right pec to become more like my left? Please help any answers much appreciated!
