I had breast lift and augmentation surgery 10 weeks ago. My left implant has dropped below where the crease line should/will be, while my right implant has not fully dropped. There is about a 1 to 1 1/2" difference. My surgeon says that in 6-9 mo. post op my breast will look great naked. Right now I still look like a freak. How do you know when revision surgery is necessary and should I trust the same surgeon to do the surgery? He is board certified, 30 yrs exp. & refered by my OBGYN.
