Revision needed on high implant? I doubt it can drop much more at this point?

Asked By:z887k276 in Atlanta, GA

I am 4mo post op. The left implant in the photo has not dropped. It was a larger implant than the right due to slight asymmetry that was only noticable by my PS during my operation. I have been wearing a band for months at night. Should I be concerned or continue to be patient? I feel like I’ll need a revision - is it smart to trust the same surgeon? No pain or extra hardness so I don’t believe it’s a contracture. I doubt it can drop much at this point?
