i had surgery about 4 weeks ago and i am concerned with feeling the edge of the implant on my right breast and not so much on my left. i am a slim petite girl that went from a 32 b to? ? i had the allergan 320 size put in under my muscle. I was wondering if the tissue or muscle will eventually cover the edges or if massage will work positioning the implant where i dont feel the edges as much. my ps did say my left brest was slighly bigger. Is there any non surgical things i can to improve this?
