One implant riding higher than the other six months post-op, is this normal? (Photo)

Asked By:lii14045 in New York, New York

I had my surgery six months ago in December 2020. ~350CC silicone implants. I had complications with my left side and had severe hematoma for a couple weeks but it eventually drained itself out. It took a week or two more for the incision to close after the right one. My right side healed pretty easily. I was told by my surgeon to be patient with my left side dropping, but now I am more concerned with what the outcome is so far down into recovery.
