2 years post op, implant is higher but breast is sagging - can this be capsular contracture or snoopy nose defect? (photos)

Asked By:Gregarious304255 in Las Vegas, Nevada

I had my implants placed two years ago and now am noticing that my left breast is sagging and the implant appears to be higher. I’m unsure if this is from the sagging breast tissue falling off of the implant, capsular contracture, or a mixture of the two. There is no pain, and no hardening. I am already scheduled for a revision. I haven’t had an MRI yet but I’m not sure just by images what way it might be leaning as far as the defect.
