REPHRASING A PREVIOUS QUESTION ASKED: I'm getting a revision, from 350cc anatomical textured implants to 435cc smooth round implants. Both surgeries under the muscle. My left implant didn't adhere and dropped lower than the right. My PS advised lowering the right fold to match my left, and is using smooth for even dropping. My projection will change from 4.6 to 4.9, diameter from 12.5 to 13.0. What changes can I expect from this revision? Is this the best approach for improved symmetry? Original question: I will be getting a revision surgery on November 21, 2013 due to a complication in my initial BA. My PS advised my left implant didn't adhere as expected when getting textured implants, dropping further than my right breast, causing asymmetry. I will be getting Inspira SRF implants, which my PS advised will also look natural due to the movement of the silicone. Please advise the difference between responsive and soft touch gel? What changes can I expect from this implant exchange? Thanks!
