Is my right breast implant bottoming out? (Photo)

Hollyhills6921May 19, 2017
Several months after my breast augmentation I noticed the the right breast started to drop a lot lower then then left breast. At the same time the nipples become more asymmetrical and uneven, and they began to point in completely different directions. There's atleast a once inch difference between the height of my breasts.

Hello Lessely.I like to have patients wait at least 3 weeks before doing serious physical activity. However, it's hard to second guess your plastic surgeon. If there's not reason to do this earlier, I would not risk it.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
