Asked By:careyy in San Francisco, CA

Hello ! I am a 29 year old Hispanic female and going on 1 year post op. Not sure if my scarring will start to fade a bit more with time or if there’s something I can do to help it ? I still can’t feel anything in my nipple area and around the breast as well. I Was wondering if that is normal this far out, I also feel like one breast is higher than the other but it’s hard to tell in pictures. Do both breast usually drop at the same time? Pictures are from 2 weeks post op and 1 year post op.

Will I be able to take advantage of my Allergen warranty if my surgeon threw away the ruptured implant?
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

Ask your surgeon if he/she took a photo of the implant. Otherwise, you can ask for a copy of the operative report which should discuss the ruptured implant. I would suggest calling Allergan and discussing this with them.
