Your lateral pocket on the right side can be tightened so it sits a little more medial. I would suggest not going larger, or very minimally larger, for your tissue may not support the extra weight. If you go larger, you may need an internal bra of mesh.

This requires revision of the surgery. To create a true plan, I would need to perform at least a virtual consultation. This surgery can be challenging including release of the fascial bands that form the double bubble, possible capsular tightening, and possible placement of an internal bra...

Your implants are too large for your chest and the one with the nipple out to the side is pushed too far medically. Your breast bases are not symmetrical to start, so this adds to the problem. I would suggest going down in size and tightening your medial pocket on the side with the outward nipple.
