Hello, I had a breast augmentation done a little over a year ago. I got 350cc silicone implant on the right, and 375cc silicone implant on the left. Just recently I started having sharp pain in my left breast/ribcage area. I also noticed my left breast is “drooping” to the side. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Thank you.
