I had buttock implants put in last summer. Now healed, I can flip my left implant over completely. Is this normal?

Asked By:Eldon64833 in Maine, NY

It seems as though the left pocket is too big and the implant is too small, making it easy to flip the implant over. Is this something my surgeon should fix pro-bono? It doesn't seem fair that I would have to pay the $15K again to fix this. I wouldn't think I should settle for an implant that flips itself from time to time.
