I'm 3 + months post op and I'm not happy with my implants. One side shows tendencies to bottoming out and they aren't like I hoped - both physically nor aesthetically. I'm considering an explant asap but I'm so nervous about it. My implants 380 cc demi, under muscle. My fold/crease was lowered about 1-2 cm. What will be done with the crease?
