Implant revision - can I have 2 implants that are the same height and appearance?

December 19, 2023
Asked By:deb7601 in Freeport, Illinois

I am a 71 year old female that had triple negative breast cancer. In November 2021 I had a bilateral mastectomy and expanders put in. In July 2022 the expanders were replaced with implants and then in Feb. 2023 the 1 implant was replaced due to it drooping. Now 8 months later the one that was replaced in Feb. has decided to droop more then it did prior to the surgery in Feb. I would really like to have 2 that are the same height and appearance. Is that even a possibility or not?
