It does take a few months for the breasts to settle. Please allow at least 6 months  for this to occur. At that point, you can determine whether the asymmetry has improved.

Dear Energetic433002,
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.

With such a large implant, it may or may not have any room to drop. If you were uneven prior to implants and have the same size, you still may be uneven. Please discuss this with your surgeon.

Your surgeon is correct, it may take up to a full year for the breasts to completely settle.  I usually revise breasts by 6 months if I see a large discrepancy.
