Botched - my right boob is way lower than my left boob

I need some guidance or some advice please.
It had been 17 years since my last breast Augmentation surgery so I treated myself to another one this year in February. My dr is a very popular doctor and is the same dr who had done my last augmentation, because I trusted him and his prices were reasonable.
I got saline implants. I wasn’t satisfied so I went 2 months later to the same dr to get a saline fill. Another cost, closer to $3000.
My right boob is way lower than my left boob so when I had my 2 week follow up, dr said to give it a month
I went a month later and told him of my concerns and he recommended a breast lift because my right breast was naturally lower than my left.
During my consultation, he convinced me that I did not need a breast lift.
I feel as if my right breast is leaking or misplaced. I have pain under my right arm down to my elbow.
The dr and his nurses tell me that only a breast lift on that right breast will help.
My concerns have fallen on deaf years. What can I do?
Do I get a 2nd opinion?
Do I ask my PCP or gynecologist for advice?
Do I talk to an attorney?
All I want is my right breast to look more symmetrical to the left breast than it is now.
Am I just out the money and just go to another surgeon?
Do I make a bad review on the dr’s social media ? It would be an honest and accurate review, so I could not be accused of defamation.
Any suggestions?

Are the implants under the muscle? Normal this happens then the implant are above the muscle. Doctors usually recommended for under the muscle surgery, and silicone. I would definitely look for a second opinion before let this doctor to touch me again. Good luck sweetie!!!

It’s been 6 months since I have posted
The original surgeon offered a breast lift for the lower breast and I accepted.
I see very little improvement but can tell you,
It does not appear to have been a breast lift.
I’ve complained to the medical board but have not heard back.
I wish I could name this doctor but I may have to check with an attorney first .
He is in San Antonio, Tx and is very popular because he is known to always go bigger than what the patient wanted.
I have no complaints about the size, but obviously he takes no pride in his work.
In the meantime, I plan to go to a different surgeon, to fix his poor work, and once I get permission to do so, I will name him on this website.
I thought I had done my research carefully, obviously I should have researched further.

Not great. I was not satisfied with my augmentation. I went back and dr suggested a breast lift one one breast. I had the “breast lift” surgery on the one breast, so I thought.
It’s been 7 months and the breast that supposedly had a lift, dropped again.
I have requested my records so that I can take them to have a revision surgery with a different plastic surgeons and as of today, have not received them. These records were requested in June.
I only took one week off but I still felt sore and uncomfortable the 2nd week. I felt sore as if I had worked out. If you think you can tolerate being sore, one week should be ok.
