Asked By:jocado

107lbs, 5'2, pre 32A post 32B+, 270cc anatomical round shaped implant. Right implant seems to have slightly moved out of pocket toward armpit. It is higher, tender and swollen 12 days preop. I have developed a knot under armpit too. Can I massage or use compression to push it back in position? Cant figure out how to post pic...
