I had a breast augmentation 18 months ago. They were drastically uneven at 3 months post op. I was told they should even out over time and to wear a compression band to help push the higher one down. I did. They’re still not close to even. It’s noticeable when wearing a tight shirt. The surgeon said there is no contracture. Is this a satisfactory result? It seems the left implant doesn't have as much room to move around. Is it possible the pocket on the left side needs to be enlarged?
