High riding implants, what is wrong? (Photo)

December 29, 2014
Asked By:lisabrt in Denmark, SC

I had silicon implants under muscle 8 months ago, Mentor 325cc. I was unhappy with the look (high riding from day one). My breasts were only firm on the top (where the muscle lays) but not on the sides where I could feel the implant. 3 weeks ago I had a revision and my surgeon removed the capsule but my breast look EXACTLY the same :( Do I need another revision and what could possible be wrong? Why is my muscle so hard but the implants are soft on the sides where I can feel them.
