Do I have lateral displacement?

Heidi526Jul 15, 2022
My left breast has settled more to the side than my right, causing my breasts to look a little lopsided!! Is this because of my anatomy pre surgery? I want to ask my surgeon about options to repair this but don’t want him to think I don’t like my results, as I love them!! The problem is I’m not sure if I was just destined for wide cleavage or if my left breast just settled incorrectly. I would love your opinion as to what you think, along with any advice as how I can bring this up to my surgeon.

It’s not that the implants are too high. You really needed a lift performed and should have gone with smaller implants. Your nipples are too low and need to be raised up with a breast lift

Thankyou for your query. Based on your photographs, when you get a revision of your implants with smaller, high profile implants, saline or silicone, a breast lift (mastopexy) will be very helpful in achieving your desired results. I prefer silicone implants because of their feel and also...
