Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Without knowing the timing since your surgery I would advocate time and patience to allow your results to mature. Although I do have concerns about the level of your lift, nothing can be done until your current results mature. The leaking is of greater concern and should be addressed by your surgeon and monitored closely.

It's difficult to tell from the photos how long ago you had surgery.  If you are within the first few months you are still healing and may need more time for the implants to drop.  If you are past that you may need a revision to improve your results.  Visit with your surgeon about the opening that is still draining.  It may be a suture abscess that can be addressed in the office.

Louise, it's crucial to determine the duration since your surgery as it provides valuable insight into your healing progress. Nonetheless, I'm concerned about the possibility of capsular contractions with your implants, evident from their high and firm position, accompanied by puckering around the incisions. Additionally, the presence of drainage indicates a potential low-grade infection that requires prompt attention and needs to be addressed.

Please allow some time for your body to recover from surgery before fully assessing your results. This can take about 6 months or longer, depending on how your recovery progresses. After that point, you can discuss your concerns with your surgeon and proceed with corrective surgery.

Dear LouiseR2329,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went 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.

There is no doubt that there are few things that will need correction; your nipples are asymmetric and low,  you have a draining wound on one side, possibly due fat necrosis but also may be related to implant (seroma). You need to stay in close contact with your surgeon and consider revision, not sooner than 6-12 months after initial surgery. Good luck.
