Asked By:Alexa5130 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

5 yrs ago I had a mastopexy w/ a 300cc implant placement after. I was a DD. 6 mo. ago, I decided to get a breast reduction but chose to keep my implants to retain that upper fullness. I immediately noticed post op that there was the appearance of a double bubble bs bad swelling. I had a Feeling it was my implants not swelling. The implants were not touched or moved during the reduction. Was the lift too high and that is where my Implants were always sitting? Or did they slip down from swelli
