Hi Drs. I’m 8 mo Post op on top of 6 mo being on tissue expanders. I’ve been patiently waiting for both implants to relatively settle equally however, the left side looks like it’s struggling to drop. Am I a good candidate for revision? And any tips on how I can bring this concern to my PS because they can be quite dismissive. Thank you Doctors!
