Is This Lateral Displacement? If So, Early Enough to Stop It from Getting Worse? (photo)

wannabme4me
2 months post op. 425cc saline under the muscle, mod plus. I have a large gap in cleavage when I lay down. Thin skin, little breast tissue to start, but I have worn a supportive sports bra at night since my surgery so I'm not sure if its indeed lateral displacement or just my anatomy. If it is looking like lateral displacement, can I stop it from getting worse by wearing a very snug underwire bra 24/7 until everything has healed? Will that help? Or am I destined for revision? Thank you.
