Asked By:dumas008 in California, CA

Hello, 10months post op since BA utm 280cc gummy silicone . 5’4 120lb. The first few weeks I noticed one side is healing more narrow and smaller. I thought it would even out with time. Did I devolop cc? Flipped implant ? My dr said could be from tight bra or sleeping position? I want to go up in size as well? Would it be a simple implant exchange or do I need pocket adjustment , would the nipple position have to be adjusted too ?
