Went from Over the Muscle to Under, Is it Possible to go over Again?

3 weeks ago I had revision work of a 375cc to 465 EHP from over the muscle placement to under. This was due to having 2 children & experiencing rippling, my breasts also dropped once i stopped breast feeding. Immediately after surgery, my left breast bottomed out and my right has double bubble with a high riding implant and a saggy breast falling off the implant! I'm extremely unhappy with my look! Can I go back on top of the muscle again for a better result? How can this be sorted?

A revision could be done to put both back under the muscle or put them over the muscle once again. If you go over the muscle suggest using silicone breast implants which... more
