Asked By:vivixxen in Renton, Washington

hello! i had my breast augmented about 11 years ago. silicone, 420cc, incision is through my nipples. my left boob feels like a size larger than my right. i can barely detect my implant on the right, as it feels extremely natural compared to the left. is this normal? and should i be worried? my doctor is in a diff state, so i cant get examed by him anytime soon. can i go to my pcp and request a mri or ultrasound? any tips/advice is appreciated!! thx all
