Breast augmentation gone wrong? Do I need a complete revision? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I had a breast augmentation last may and I noticed right away that there was a sort of dent in one as well as droopy while the other is perked up and firm. The right one although feels so natural the implant dropped down and the dent has moved to the bottom of the breast where the gol should be. They are noticeably different. Do I need a complete revision?

It's hard to comment on what may have occurred without pre op photos.  I encourage you to visit with your surgeon for an evaluation of your results.  A lift on one side may be indicated to achieve better symmetry.

Dear Leemarie17,
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.

You did  not show your before photos, but I suspect one nipple sat lower than the other and still does. A lift could correct this difference.

Your breasts were completely different shapes and sizes. Now you are a closer looking result but I would offer revision of lower N/A via either donut lift or L-shaped lift. Remember they are sisters not twins....

Greetings,
I would suggest that you return to your original plastic surgeon to discuss your outcome. There is no substitute for an re-examination and candid discussion regarding treatment options and potential benefits/risks.  
Pre-operative photographs could provide some insight into the nature of your present asymmetries.
Best Regards,
