Posted under Breast Implants q&a

Why are my implants so far apart? It's been about 3 months, 304cc Gummy bear moderate+ under muscle. It's about 5cm gap (Photos)

I went to my surgeon, and he said I will need to go larger about 6 months post-op to fix the gap, and this is just my frame. When I lay down the gap is even larger! He's recommending approx 420-450 cc moderate plus under the muscle. I wish I had known about this gap issue prior, because I would have reconsidered the surgery or the implant at the time. Anyways, looking for any advice. PS- I'm 5'3", 105 lbs, and low body fat. I'm so upset :(
