I recently had implant exchange. I also had a capsular contraction in one breast. Before the surgery, my breasts were sloped, but not hanging. After surgery, to my horror, my breasts were hanging much lower on my chest. I'm still not satisfied and my surgeon claims he can't do anything about it. Now, I must always wear a support bra to lift my breasts. Another surgeon agreed to do a breast lift. But I am wondering, what happened? Could the doctor have removed some of my own breast tissue during the implant exchange, causing my breasts to hang lower now?
