Breast augmentation advice feel sagging and heavy after 7 weeks

February 1, 2013
Asked By:June1

Hi I had breast augmentation done. I had teardrop shaped implants removed which were 280g right breast and 335g left breast.  I had them removed because they had turned and had capsulated. I ask the consultant at the time could I just have them removed but she said I would look empty as before the first operation I was noticeable difference in size and shape. The consultant put in round implants right 275gm and left 330gm. The day after the surgery I did not feel right but put it down to the operation and things needed to settle but a few days later the right side was not healing and both breasts feel painful and really heavy at the bottom of the breast almost like they are going to fall out and I feel movement on the right side. I can feel empty gaps in the top part of the breasts not sure if that's to do with the capsulation removal.  I told the consultant of my problems and she said that was the best result as I am maturing lady (I'm 36 ) had 1 child and I have very thin skin and to do an uplift would just drop after 2 months. I After 4 weeks of being told it was fine I got a second opionion who said I had a small hole on the right breast and he took the implant out and put it back in doing a revision on the cut. I would really appreciate some advice can anything else be done to help
