Only one boob falls to the side when I lie down. Why?

mairead2Apr 18, 2015

It's been my experience that smaller implants drop sooner than larger ones. That is not to say that every case is the same. I would discuss this with your doctor.

Most anaesthesiologists would use an endotracheal mask for a breast augmentation. This is less invasive than an endotracheal tube. However it is something you would have to discuss on an individual basis.
