Flat spot under breast. Is this normal? (Photo)

Question

I am 6 months out from having my breast augmentation and lift done. Recently I noticed a "drop" and flat spot under/on my right breast. It also doesn't sit up as high as my left breast. Is this normal?

Hello
dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well..
The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by
different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging.
To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a
mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift
restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging
breasts. This not only can improve a patient’s appearance by restoring her
youthful, feminine proportions, but  also help bras and swimsuits fit
more comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched out skin,
reshaping the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more
forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast
contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast
lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast, Actually
the perkiness on a person or another, depends on patients skin and breast
tissue, If you want to have a revision it will be better to consult with your board certified plastic surgeon what's the best for you talking about incision and implants size.. You have extra skin that has to be removed, doing that your breasts will have the appearance you're looking for, hugs!

Following breast lift with implants it is normal for the vertical incision under the breast to look flat. However alomst always the bottom of the breast rounds out. My guess is that the larger higher left side will drop further. See your surgeon.
