I Have Symmastia and Want to Find a Surgeon in California to Do a Breast Revision, As Well As Put Larger Implants In? (photo)

I had my first breast aug in June 2010-450cc HP Saline filled to 480cc,under muscle-symmastia occurred. 2nd surgery- March 2011=425cc HP Silicone OVER the muscle,to allow everything to heal. I want to put the implants back under the muscle and go with a larger implant, that would give me more "side boob" and leave a nice gap in the cleavage area. I just want to find a surgeon in CA that will do the internal bra/sutures, capsulorraphy on the outer sides of breasts and put in a larger implant.

Not a good plan in complicated breast situation

Revisionary breast surgery especially with a history of symmastia is very complicated, not a menu you can just order whatever you want from. Your below the muscle pocket is a place not to go at this point. Going larger will also add risks of recurrent symmastia. If you look hard enough, somebody in CA will tell you what you want to hear, but it would be much wiser to leave well enough alone IMO.
