Looks As Though Double Bubble Has Now Formed? Why Do I Feel Lopsided (Heavier) on my Left Side?

1st & foremost, I would like to thank the Dr.'s who commented on my 1st ?. I saw my PS last wk and when explaining my concerns to him, he stopped me short and basically told me that I should be thankful that I have an implant, that my right breast will never look the same, and that he "didn't know what more to say." I have attached photos from b4 my initial aug. as well as b4 the reimplant of my R breast. Bras don't fit evenly, and I feel lopsided. It's very uncomfortable. Any advice??

Your left breast has a double bubble and no fullness in the upper quadrant, and the scar around the implant (the capsule) is definitely below the inframammary fold. Your final picture shows... more
