Asked By: 5374 in McRae-Helena, Georgia

I have 450cc silicone implants under the muscle and my surgery was Aug11. I was wondering when i get my revision surgery should i get surgery on both breasts so they heal the same as opposed to getting surgery on one breast.The possibility of them being uneven Im sure can happen. Should I get a new set of breasts. I noticed CC in November 11 and was prescribed Singulair. In my pictures the left breast is the highest and the one with CC.
