Am I just being picky or is a revision needed?

Question

3mo post op. Left breast in photo has not dropped - sitting high & odd shaped.Surgeon thinks I should only consider a revision if it bothers me (it does). Would you suggest a revision? I did not have noticeable assymytry presurg but he opted for a lager implant in the breast that is high on surg day due to asymmetry being noticeable once they were larger. I've been wearing a bad night for 2+mo. Am I just being picky or is revision needed?

Dear z887k276,
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.

Right now, you need to wait at least 3 more months to see if the implant will yet settle down in place. It can take up to size months for implants to completely settle.
