Asked By:Kknight9296 in Altamonte Springs, FL

I got my implants back in 1999 by a doctor that soon lost his license. I wasn’t able too go to my post op appointments. He did the procedure in his office. It was don’t through my belly button. He placed a hollow metal tube through the belly button and ran it up to my breast area where he created 2 pockets for the implants to be placed. He ran the implants up through the tubes and filled them with saline. He told me they would soften. They haven’t and I’m concerned.
