Would I benefit from a breast implant revision? (Photo)

Asked By:Ysadkixo in Los Angeles, California

Hi i had my breast augmentation on April 14 2023. 5 months PO I went in for an appt with my surgeon and they noticed my implant wasn't going to settle on it's own so he scheduled me for a second surgery to drop the implant. Unfortunately now the breast implant he dropped sits much lower than my right breast and shifts to the side. He said he can either drop the other breast or add stitching to lift it again. Would that help? Or would it drop again? Suggestions? Much appreciated.
