My new implants might be laterally displaced - should I get a revision? (Photos)

August 5, 2023
Asked By:nursej2

This is a follow up question. I thought I was bottoming out but I learned about lateral displacement and I feel my implants sit too low/far apart. And when I lay down, they're basically in my armpits. Should I get a revision? If so - pocket repair, or larger size? I want them to look more augmented or pushed together. (3rd picture - I'm using my hand to push up the implant to desired position). I have 220cc high profile Natrelle placed 7 months ago.
