Will the left drop to match the right side and how long does it usually take to drop?

Asked By:questionsg in Winchester, VA

I had a double mastectomy and reconstruction. The reconstruction was using expanders and then implants. My right side was radiated. So the skin was tighter. I just had revision surgery for my left side where my surgeon took extra skin out and fat grafted both sides. My left side is now much higher than my right side. Will the left drop to match the right side and how long does it usually take to drop?
