I’ve had my breast augmentation a little over a year ago. They started to move out of place , one side more than the other in the past 2 months. My surgeon said they still look pretty good, which I agreed. But it’s very uncomfortable since I can feel the implants moving around with every single movement I make. There’s a pulling and pushing sensation too. He gave me 2 options: bigger implants, or capsulorrhaphy but that might give me asymmetry and symmastia. Is it worth a shot fixing?
