Misaligned Nipples and Asymmetrical Breasts, 5 Month Post-op - What Can Be Done? (photo)

July 20, 2012
Asked By:julia3639

5m. post-op and my breasts are more asymmetrical than before the surgery: misaligned nipples and right implant is 2in. off-center and falls off under armpit when laying down. my doc agreed with my complaints & suggested pocket revision of the right breast to move implant more towards the center. questions: is it possible to do through existing inframmry incision (3in) without making it bigger? will it solve the problem or should i consider smth else? $3000 - is it reasonable for the revision?
