I recently had a mammogram. I have silicone breast implant that are eight months old. During the mammogram my left breast squeezed vertically and once released from the machine my breast stayed in the squeezed position for at least 10 seconds or more and there was a bulge that came out from bottom left side. All went back but now I have way more rippling and it's kinda sore. Not the same. If it's the pocket that got messed up what might I do? I am wearing a sports bra now Thank you

Answer: After mammogram, my breast is just not the same
Your plastic surgeon will do measurements of your breast base width. The width of the base of your breast will determine what size of breast implant will properly fit your breast. The high profile may in fact work for you. Your desired photo requires at least a 350 cc implant possibly larger.
Rapid changes in weight can affect your augmentation result. Sometimes a mastopexy can help lift the breast tissue if this is the problem. Check with a board certified plastic surgeon and they may be able to discuss options in person after an examination. Best of luck, MMT
