In November 2009, I decided to replace 15 year old saline implants after being told by a cosmetic surgeon that they were deflating. The doctor convinced me that I would be much happier with the results of silicone implants. After 8 weeks, my implants bottomed out and I now have a double bubble. A consultation with another surgeon has suggested that the doctor attempted to lower my IMF. I have been left in pain and discomfort with breasts that feel like they are hanging off my body.
Lowering of the fold to adjust for volume is not uncommon and is often done in the event that you require adjustment of shape or volume . It is done routinely with a tubular breast deformity. There are solutions to your resultant issue but pictures would help to define the exact solution(s).

I have had breast implants for 14 years and I am now developing a large rash under my left breast, and it hurts and I feel alot of air pockets. One doctor told me to replace them every 10 years and another told me you never have to replace them
This is a common question and does not have an exact answer. Personally, if you have saline implants and you are happy I see no reason to worry at this time. If you have silicone implants you may want to discuss exchange for a new set of implants with your board certified plastic surgeon. There are several options for you to discuss in a lengthy discussion with your surgeon. Make sure he/she is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

I'm going on 11 years with my implants and they feel okay but I would feel much better if I could get a doctors opinion. My problem is that my original doctor has been disbarred from the medical field and I don't know who to turn to or what to expect at my consultation(s).
Your doctor was disbarred from practicing? That should give you some concern, frankly.
In regard to your implants, are they saline or silicone? Has your body changed due to weight change or or pregnancies? Have you had any mammograms?
Seek out the consult of a board certified plastic surgeon and expect to pay a couple of hundred dollars for the consult as a new patient. The criteria for checking the implants and follow-up will depend on all of the above questions.
