After Breast Implant Revision There is a Large Gap Between Breasts, What Should I Do?

Hi, I originally had a breast augmentation 28/03/10 (allergan natrelle 340cc subpectoral) & recently (three months ago) had a revision due to extreme pectoral/breast pain. My cosmetic surgeon changed the pocket of my breast implants to submammary & as a result the pain I was experiencing has stopped. However, the appearance & size of my breasts has significantly changed although the same implant was used. I now have a large gap (four finger width) between my breasts & have reduced in size. Help!
