Options for dent/rippling in one breast after nipple sparing bilateral mastectomy with direct to implant reconstruction? (photo)

ScubaCat
5 months out from mastectomies & immediate implants w/ Alloderm. IMF incisions. 371g removed on left, 446g removed on right, and 435cc Natrelle Inspira put in. Thrilled with left. Have concerns with right. I know rippling is not unusual with thin tissues after mastectomy, but I have a large always-present visible dent and I can feel the rippling at outer edge of implant and it sometimes causes pinching/discomfort from movement. Some extra skin at bottom as well. Options and recovery time?
