Thirteen years ago I had a subglandular procedure that left me with rippling in my cleavage. During my revision consultation with a new surgeon, I pointed out the problem as it was the biggest issue to address. Two months post-surgery I saw ripples in the same spot and learned the dr didn’t move the implants under the muscle like we discussed. My pocket is also too big (boob falls into my armpit) though she claims she stitched it… she will redo them but it will still cost me $6k (OR fees, implants, anesthesiologist), which seems unfair since we didn't actually address the issue and do what we discussed… do I have any rights here?
