Is Window Shading of the pectoral muscle the fault of the surgeon?

July 28, 2014
Asked By:Even Uglier boobs in New York, NY

I went in for a simple swap from a mismatched set of saline to silicone, and wound up with an implant lower than my IMF, and window shading of my pec. The doctor wants 12k to fix it, but I'm certain the doctor caused the problem. Anyway, I've read that it caused by over zealous cutting of the pec. True or false?
