Asked By:Christi0820 in Utah

One of my implants slipped out from under the muscle 2 mo postop. This has been evidenced after 2nd mammo 18 mo post op. How should I approach my surgeon. I saw him approx 10 times postop but he denied slippage. Now my breast is migrating out and down as if it is not supported.
