My Implants Have Dropped and Separated. Is This my Surgeon's Fault?

305976anon
I had breast enlargement about 6 months ago. I went from an A to C cup with saline implants placed under the muscle. They have seemed to bottom out and separate (4 finger gap)and one is now larger than the other. I discussed this with my surgeon who says its because of my muscles and I can achieve the results I want with a second surgery. She will; not charge me but I have to pay for the facility, anesthesia and for the implants. Is this her fault and does this sound fair?
