How to get breast implant mistake fixed?

September 3, 2021
Asked By:wdietel in Dallas, TX

I had a double mastectomy years ago. My right breast implant became encapsulated and painful. I went to a plastic surgeon for replacement implants. I have a sunken rib on my left side that makes that breast look smaller so a larger implant was to be used on the left breast. What have I after healing is a huge right breast. It is Obvious to me they put the larger implant on the wrong side. I just want it fixed. How's the best way to handle it.
