LATERAL DISPLACEMENT, feedback from doctors on here confirming yes it is!! I'm 5 months post op. My PS is in denial until i get a second opinion. I have a second plus more opinions confirming. Is my PS at fault an have to do a revision free of charge or refund for partial of the costs I paid for them??? I'm looking in Australia for my revision, I'm so distraught about everything, it took me ages to save up for this hoping it will boost my self esteem, only to be knocked down. Help me please. :(
Answer: Every surgeon has their own revision policy and you need to find out what your surgeon's policy is. It is completely acceptable that patients cover costs that the surgeon cannot control, such as the OR and anesthesia. Most surgeons would revise this without a surgeon fee but not all surgeons think alike. This is why its so important to know what the revision policy is prior to having surgery. As for surgeon error, its hard to pin this on your surgeon.

Answer: Implants too lateral, is surgeon at fault? Your implants are too lateral that is not the question. The question would be were they created like that from day one or did a combination of your anatomy and lack of muscle release cause the problem. If your rib cage angles backwards causing a V-shaped chest your breast will fall and stretch the lateral pocket. If your medial pectoralis muscle was not adequately released, when you flex your pectoralis muscle it will push the implants laterally and cause the pocket laterally to stretch. Finally are you wearing a support bra all the time? If not your breast will fall to the side or down. Looks like your breast has fallen down and to the side. If this is corrected you may need additional material such as Seri to support the repair otherwise the same will happen a year or two down the line. It would be more helpful to see immediately after the procedure photos as well as a progression of photos in the healing period.
