One implant seems higher than the other one. How can this be fixed? (Photo)

Question

I have my breasts done two years ago. This is how they look now. My nipples were ALWAYS symmetrical. And now. They look nice but its also not nice and embarrassing. I had a hematoma in the breast with the nipple thats lower. The doctor fixed it with surgery. And ever since then. They look like this

Thank you for your question. It appears that the right breast has slightly bottomed out, or dropped, more than the left breast. This has caused the right nipple to appear higher than the left. It can be very difficult to substantially lower a nipple. Your options are to revise the right side, which would likely require a horizontal incision. Or you could slightly raise the left nipple with a periareolar lift. Good luck.

Dear Enthusiastic656563,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Might try fat grafting or a donut lift? But best to seek in person or virtual consult with... Understand the differences are minor. The breasts arenot twins but sisters....
