I'm 39 and had my 9 yr old implants removed on the 9th May 22. The implants were 375cc, textured allergan under the muscle. I removed my implants as the right breast had become very hard and was misshapen due to CC. I did not have the capsules removed. As you can see my right breast is still a different shape from the right - v little lower pole. I know I'm still early in the healing process but wondered if anyone can advise the cause and what I may be able to do in future to rectify? Thanks!
