Form after shoulder injury

[danimal22]

I separated my AC (shoulder) joint about two years ago and I've noticed that my shoulder's bone structure isnt symmetrical now. The injured shoulder seems to naturally "droop" a little. Well when I do lifts like bench or dips this means that my form is not naturally symmetrical. So, my question: is it better to try and force myself to hold symmetrical form through the shoulders even though it feels less natural for my injured shoulder? Or should I stick more to "what feels right"? Anyone with a similar injury care to weigh in

Work on overall shoulder work. Don't just bench. Focus on strengthening the back of the shoulder mainly. The shoulder may never be the same but try and keep imbalances to a minimum.

i had surgery like 4 years ago on my right shoulder.....the left side of my body is a little bigger now b/c of it. unfortunately i have not been able to fix the problem even though i have tried and did my rehab correctly...you may just have to deal with it sorry to say. hopefully through rehab you can correct most of the problem
