Answer: Capsular contracture or implant drop
It is uncommon to see capsular contracture this early unless there was a complication around the time of surgery such as a bleed or haematoma. If this was the case it is possible that the problem is early capsular contracture. Otherwise it is worth waiting to see if the implant does drop as the soft tissue loosens.I would discuss the options with the surgeon and this should make the way forward clear

Answer: Breast Asymmetry after Breast Augmentation/Lifting?
Your concerns about the existing breast asymmetry, based on the photographs, are understandable. Clinical examination would be necessary to help differentiate between early signs of encapsulation (capsular contraction) versus a higher position/sitting breast implant. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource in this regard.
Regardless, continued patience and time are your friends. Hopefully, the breast implants will “settle” more symmetrically and you will be pleased with the outcome of the procedure performed.
Your plastic surgeon will also be your best resource when it comes to this incision line care.
Best wishes.
