Will my implant stop moving over time? Can I expect it to settle higher and symmetrical? (photos)

Asked By:Reserved291604 in Rochester, MI

I underwent breast augmentation surgery 7 months ago with polyurethane implants. The recovery went well and the breast were looking great, but in february a foreign body (a gauze) was discovered on ultrasound so I underwent another surgery to remove the gauze. My surgeon removed the polyurethane coating before reinserting the implant. Now (2 months after ) my right breast is looking different, is lower than the left one and the implant is moving. Can I hope for a symmetrical look over time?
