5 months post op - will a revision help address asymmetry when raising arms or will this improve with time? (photos)

Asked By:freedygirl in Kayseri, Türkiye

Hello. I had breast augmentation and lift surgery 5 months ago. My right breast was tuberous and larger than the left. Right 240 cc, Left 300 cc placed. Last month i realized that when I raise my arms, my right breast is getting higher than my left breast. Is that because it was tuberous? Will it improve over time? Or is there a problem (capsule, animation deformity vs.)?
