Did my Dr. Make a Mistake? Found Out One of my Implants Are Upside Down?

May 29, 2013
Asked By:Boobaby

I had surgery in Feb. for breast augmentation and lift, however my Dr. Decided not to do the lift. I then went to another Dr. To finish the job yesterday, just to find out that one of the implants was upside down. Also the muscle was not released enough so I had no cleavage. Was he negligent or can this happen on its own?
