Question viewed 2,051 times

Ive had two Breast surgeries in 4 years the first time around the surgeon put 550 ccs without my permission so I was huge, I had to get them fixed because one was under the muscle and one over the muscle and my muscle on the right would jump on my breast whenever I picked something up or opened something. I had Saline unders. I now have 350cc's silicone gel overs, I had a full lift .. my right breast is shaped differnt and bigger, Do my breasts look perky or do I need different implants?
