Anchor incision in the wrong position - can the fold be straightened and lowered?

Question

I had a breast lift with implants 5 years ago. The right side sat higher and never felt right. I had the implants removed because I couldn't stand the asymmetry anymore. Once out we discover my anchor incision and IMF on my right side is 1inch higer and slanted up sideways on my chest wall. I had alloderm placed to reattached my chest wall muscle since. So now even with out an implant the right side sits higher and is half the size of the left. Can the fold be straightened and lowered?

Dear saramp,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

You did not submit photos, so I cannot be specific. You really need to be examined to see if you have any excess skin. Please go visit with your surgeon.
