Odd shaped breast 6 months after breast augmentation - will it smooth out in time? (photos)

Question

I had dual plane breast implants coming up to 6 months ago now, 400cc round. My right breast has a slightly angular look to it underneath (pictures attached) where as the left has a nice round curve. Is this likely to smooth out in time or is something wrong? The nurse at my surgeons office said to give it time but it’s been like it for around 4 months now.

Good morning,
That seems to be a little thickened area of your capsule- I think you may be able to help smooth it out with targeted massage in this area, but only time will tell and if the massage fails you may need a surgical revision if it bothers you enough!

Dear princesslauren87,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

At 6 months, you have healed enough that the shape will probably remain. I would suggest discussing this with your surgeon.
