Breast implant removal 8 days ago. Right breast is considerably smaller and a weird shape. Am I deformed permanently? Breasts where symmetrical pre-implant. Surgeon said implant removal on right breast was 'very difficult' as capsule was completely stuck, he couldn't even remove it all. I can feel fluid on right breast when I get out of bed. Do I need breast revision?
