Am I having lateral malposition? (Photo)

Question

Hi there, I'm starting to worry about my left implant settling in the wrong position (too much to the left), do you agree this looks abnormal? Should I have a revision surgery as soon as possible or wait given my surgery was 3 months ago? I'm worried it will get worse if I wait. Thank you.

Dear Kind490381,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Your limited one photo is not enough to check for malposition. There may be a difference in your sternum. Please go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns.

There is not enough evidence in this photo to suggest concern.  At three months post op you still may have subtle changes as your breasts continue to soften and heal.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
