I'm not happy with my NAC being so low, and the lower pole. What things should I be asking about a revision? (Photos)

I had bilateral nipple sparing mastectomy in December 2024. It was supposed to be direct to implant, but my skin was not in good enough condition to do that. Implants were placed Jan 2025. I have always had very little lower pole. It was a concern going into this. I’m not happy with my NAC being so low. Also not happy with the little change in lower pole. I thought my skin was going to stretch and that would be improved. To top these issues, the left breast is contractured due to bleeding that occurred after my drains were pulled. That led to the left breast being massive and swollen at first. I see my surgeon next week so I am wanting to know what sort of options I should be thinking about.
