I am 4 mos post verticle lift with 400cc silicone implants . I can feel and see my implant in the bottom of my left breast and the skin on this breast generally feels more loose than the right. The right breast feels a bit tighter and it's a tiny bit higher. I can feel implant in left a lot more when i am laying down. Would lifting the left a bit more to tighten up the skin make this less noticeable and more like the right? Is this visibility of the implant fold going to be a problem?
