Hi, thank you for reading and helping me! I am 3 months post breast aug where I had 250 silicone unders, tear drop but extra short. I've been having discomfort for a few weeks and when I went to discuss with my surgeon who says he thinks it has rotated 180 degrees. He told me I need to go home and try to manipulate it back... after several sessions 15 minutes of pushing and pulling nothing seems to be happening. I am now feeling confused, should it be easy, what do I do if I can't move it?!
