Asked By:Philosophical775988 in Duluth, Minnesota

My implant has mived into the middle of my chest area and has also moved down a bit & feels like the bottom is on my ribs. It's very uncomfortable. I was told i needed to wait until my sugery is 8months healed and to wear a thong bra and not use my pectoral muscles either. Why can't this be done sooner?
