I had silicone breast implants (450cc UHP) with permanent internal sutures (underneath and laterally) about 8 years ago. I naturally had zero tissue. Just in the past 2 years I started noticing one of my breasts having a weird shape from the side. Both breasts have it but one more than the other. I've noticed the indent is right where my breasts deform when activating the muscle. But it's still visible even at rest. What can I do to fix it?

I would suggest going with something smaller and relifting your breasts. With smaller implants, your implants will settle down more a be in a better place.
If possible you needed to post before photos so a comparison can be done. Remember the results are never twins but are sisters. Could re operation of the slightly higher breast side help lower - yes. But is the risks of potential complications worth the benefits? Only you can respond to that...
Dear mermaidafraid,
capsular contracture happens. In fact, every implant has a capsule form around it, its just a certain percentage develop thick capsules. There is a lot we don't know about it actually. Some think that bacteria that gets on the implant during insertion can increase the risk....
