I had BA 5 weeks ago. They are farther apart than we discussed with the surgeon. Can they be moved toward center without another surgery?

This is a technique which has been popularized in part by the work of Dr. Scott Spear. There are studies to suggest that it becomes part of you . It can act like a support to reinforce the postion of the implant. Certainly, I would consider it as an option in a difficult case such as yours.

How Much Can Saline Implants Be Overfilled?
