Why is inframammary fold uneven? Will it even out? (Photos)

upsetba
I am 10 days post op but I've noticed my inframammary fold has been uneven since day 1. I included my preop photo - I am pretty sure I was symmetrical before surgery. Will this even out? If I press the implant down daily, will it lower the fold line to match the other side? As things begin to settle it looks as if my right breast is beginning to droop below the fold. Is a revision necessary? And why did this happen? Was the pocket not created correctly during surgery?
