Right Breast Implant Sits Higher Than the Other

January 10, 2009
Asked By:Mrs. Pearls in Mesquite, TX, United States

I recently had breast augmentation with an internal lift three weeks ago. My right breast implant sits a little higher and I have loose skin around the inner part of the breast. My doctor told me to wrap my breast in bandages and stated that the implant should drop within 6 - 8weeks. Is this a normal post op problem? Will the bandages work and make the implant "drop" on its own, or is revisional surgery the only way to get this fixed?
