Breast revision, under muscle to over, only switching one - Would it even look right or would I need to have both moved?

Asked By:Good749640 in Nuevo, California

I had a breast augmentation in April 2022, after 2 weeks i noticed that on side looked to have bottomed out. After waiting six months the surgeon has suggested placing the implant over the muscle on the bottomed out side. Would it even look right or would I need to have both moved to above the muscle? The left which needs to be fixed is 560cc while the right is 520cc gummy bear
