Are my Breast Implant Pockets Too Big?

June 30, 2013
Asked By:May2013

I had breast augmentation eight weeks ago. I have my next post op appt in 2 weeks, but I am dying for answers now. I started completely flat, not even a 32A and had 450 silicone implants under the muscle. One nipple is lower than the other, can this be fixed with surgery? When will they soften up? If ever? My biggest concern- I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think my left breast pocket is too large. When I lie down it literally slides up to my collar bone on it's own and my nipple is flat
