Dear Considerate169119,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

Although an examination is needed to be certain, it appears that your lateral pocket is tighter on the left side. You could try oral Accolate and ultrasound treatments to see if the pocket could be relaxed. Otherwise, surgery will be needed if you want this fixed.  Please discuss this with your surgeon.

To make an accurate assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure, we need to see proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before, and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
Most people have the left breast sitting slightly higher on the chest wall and the right side.
I think this is true for you as well and would be visible on your before pictures.
At the same time your left breast has more.
I believe some of your asymmetry may be visible on your before picture.
Your left nipple position is lower than the right despite the fact that your left breast sits higher on your chest wall.
To get a proper second opinion consultation, I suggest scheduling those is in person consultations with other plastic surgeons in your community.
For second opinion consultations come prepared bringing with you a complete set of proper before and after pictures and a copy of your report.
These are part of your medical record and can be requested from your current provider.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
