Implant after reconstruction rolls to the side exposing cavity towards the midline. Can this be corrected?

Asked By:loulat in Laguna Niguel, CA

I had double mastectomy 5 months ago with tissue expanders placed in. I noticed then that the left breast was not as close as the right breast to the midline. 2 weeks ago I had the silicone implants placed in (250 cc). When I lay down the left implant rolls to the side revealing a cavity near my midline. Not only the implants are small and seem even smaller, but the cavity exposed when I lay down is very appalling. Can this be corrected in cases of reconstructed breasts?
