Can someone please tell me what in earth might be wrong with my chest? First off my breasts are not symmetrical and one is high up and the other is just doing it own thing. And also what is with the hole where you can see my sternum? Can this be fixed? If so how?
Answer: Implant It appears that the muscle has torn away from your sternum causing this depression and letting the implant settle down more. The lateral pocket can be tightened and fat can be added. I do not know if the muscle can be repaired. Or, you can expand the pocket of the other breast and add fat to the depression. Please discuss this with your surgeon.

Answer: Breast issues It may either be a capsular contracture (if the higher breast is firmer or more tender and the breast started lower and slowly moved upwards) or it may just be that the pectoralis muscle was not fully released at the bottom and the implant did not drop to the proper position. A revision procedure should fix these issues. The opposite breast with the medial deformity may be either your natural anatomy of may require a slight release to round out the cleavage. Best wishes.
