Lateral Displacement? Could it be skin, implant type, position, pocket too large? What corrective action is needed? (Photos)

I am 37 - 5’3” 125lbs 22.1 BMI, lost 80 lbs, had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation (Mentor XTRA 450cc High Profile, sub-muscular w/inframammary incision) on 10/2024. My right breast (indicated with arrows on images) to me has always felt different than my left breast. I can remember as early as 3 days post op feeling so much more discomfort on the side of my right breast compared to my left one. I am left hand dominate so I just figured that was the reason for the difference. At my 1 month post op surgeon noticed my right one dropping more so than my left, same observation at 3 months. By my 6th month they were pretty even however my right one has always looked lower. Even my nipples aren’t on the same plane although just marginally. I’ve noticed since about 6 months that my right breast slides significantly when laying down which I know is to be expected however it lays so much more differently than my left. I also have rippling when standing on my right which is worsened when bending over. When bent over I can feel the shell of my implants folding and I can push the corner around. When I mentioned the difference in how my right breast falls my surgeon just said it is side boob. When hugging I can feel it slide whereas the left just pushes in. I go back to see him in 2 weeks and I really want to push to correct my right breast but I don’t know what corrective action is needed. Could it be skin, implant type, position, pocket too large? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
