Do I need to have my breast implants removed ? (photo)

July 31, 2014
Asked By:ItsBrittany in El Paso, TX

I had a revision for my first breast augmentation done about 10 months ago. It was to correct my implants that were too low and too close together. I started with nothing (couldn't even fill an AA cup). Then I had 425cc mod plus put in the first surgery, and 375cc high profile for the revision. I feel that my implants are still slightly low, but my big concern is the permanent tenting or symmastia. I do not want another revision. What would happen if I had to explant?
