Why is One Breast Implant Higher Than the Other and Will It Drop?

November 23, 2010
Asked By:Ailin in Miami, FL

4 months ago I had a tummy tuck, lipo, lift and an implant. I was not happy with the way my breast looked the nipples were off and I didn't like the size. About 3 months ago I had my second surgery to fix the nipple issue and went from 400cc to 450CC Memory Gel. One implant is higher than the other. I think the Doctor did the pocket to high. Is this normal or do I have to get another surgery to fix this?
