No Improvement in Breast Augmentation Issues

On May 9, 2002, I underwent breast augmentation surgery. I was an A cup before. I never noticed any evident differences in my breast size before. Therefore, this was never discussed at my consultation. In the seven years since my surgery, the issues I had mentioned at post-op have not improved; these issues include differences in placement (or a shifting of the implant?), size, feel, and the shape of my implants. They have actually manifest and become even more uncomfortable than before. Any advice?

I recommend seeking out a plastic surgeon who will listen to your concerns, examine you, and give you an honest opinion. You... more

Discuss this with your surgeon or someone else who will

Breast implants can manifest or magnify the differences in the size, shape and form of the breasts. Some of these can be compensated for and some can not just with the implants. After this length of time you will need a complete evaluation and assessment of your current situation and see what can be corrected / adjusted. Decide in your own mind what you would like to correct and then discuss this with a plastic surgeon that will listen to you and tell you honestly what is reasonable. It... more
