Asked By:darby242 in Oakland, CA

In June I saw an old friend. He was drinking and gave me a huge bear hug almost took the wind out of me. Ive silicone implants since 2007. Suddenly my cleavage looks different and I feel a burning feeling in the top of my muscle. Ive been told its not symmastia, most likely tenting amd sagging since I'm 22 months post partum. I feel my right breast is moving toward the center of my chest and my breasts are looking different each day. My doctor says its nothing to be concerned about but I am.
