Updated: I was 40, 138lbs. 5'5" & had my first breast implants done. I had the allergan gel 400cc put in under the muscle & I had been a small deflated 34B before. My left side never dropped & was very sore. After waiting a year & one month I decided to have them replaced with a bigger size since I was going to have to go under again anyhow. The Dr had switched to mentor during this time so I decided to go with the mentor high profile 535cc. When they did my surgery they said it was a good thing I had decided to go larger as my right side has completely ruptured and was nothing but mush. I'm now 4 & 1/2 weeks out from my 2nd surgery & my left side is still much higher & now looks like a torpedo. The crease is a full finger width higher than the right side & now I have a constant burning feeling on the left side of my right nipple. I'm becoming so depressed over this. I just want them to look normal....decent. I have spent so much & my Dr just keeps telling me that it's me & that I need to keep waiting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just don't know what to do or what my options are.
