Breast implant revision for transwoman - implant is very high and hard - please help (Photos)

trini4u81Nov 6, 2022
I popped my right breast implant in the gym on Jan ...then I got them fixed and switched out from saline to silicone. The doctor said I could exercise after a week and also took my bandages off. Two weeks later I developed an infection in my left boob. I almost died and was hospitalized for two weeks. They had to remove it. So I went 4 months with just one boob. Then on July 18th I got the implant placed back in. Its very high and hard. Im 4 months post and need this fixed. Please help
